King Khatvang’s moksha was achieved in less than an hour.1 And the sadhu is very compassionate, however one does not know that.

A powerful king of the Surya dynasty who fought on the side of the deities in their battle against the demons. When he realized he was soon to die, he sat in one of the heavenly planes of the deities and quickly went to Ayodhya to sit on the banks of the river Saryu. There, he meditated and gave up all attachments to his body, family, kingdom and wealth, and focused on God only. - Shrimad Bhagvat 9/9/41-49
