जीवनं जीवनप्राणा जगज्ज्येष्ठा जगन्मयी । जीवजीवातुलतिका जन्मिजन्मनिबर्हिणी
jīvanaṃ jīvanaprāṇā jagajjyeṣṭhā jaganmayī | jīvajīvātulatikā janmijanmanibarhiṇī
Sie ist das Leben selbst, der Lebenshauch der Wesen; sie ist die Älteste und Erhabenste der Welt, und die Welt ist in ihrem eigenen Sein durchwaltet. Sie ist die Lebenskraft alles Lebenden und reißt den wiederkehrenden Kreislauf von Geburt um Geburt an der Wurzel aus.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Jīvana-prāṇa aspect)
Type: ghat
Listener: Ṛṣis / pilgrims in frame
Scene: Gaṅgā as cosmic mother whose waters appear as luminous breath entering beings; a wheel of births dissolves behind her; pilgrims on ghāṭas meditate in stillness.
The Goddess is the inner life-force and also the liberator: devotion aims not only at worldly vitality but at ending saṃsāra (repeated birth).
Kāśī is the contextual pilgrimage-field in which this liberating power is celebrated in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa.
No explicit ritual act is stated; the verse supports liberation-oriented remembrance and praise.
