Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 10
यदि त्र्यक्षसमत्वं तु लभ्यतेऽन्येन केनचित् । तदा गंगासमत्वं च लभ्यते सरितान्यया
yadi tryakṣasamatvaṃ tu labhyate'nyena kenacit | tadā gaṃgāsamatvaṃ ca labhyate saritānyayā
Si en verdad la igualdad con el Señor de los Tres Ojos (Śiva) pudiera ser alcanzada por algún otro, entonces también otro río podría alcanzar igualdad con Gaṅgā.
Brahmā (replying to Narmadā, per immediate context)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (by comparison)
Type: river
Listener: null
Scene: Brahmā articulates a logical analogy: unless someone could equal the Three-Eyed Śiva, no other river can equal Gaṅgā—depict Brahmā teaching, with a subtle vision of Śiva and Gaṅgā as archetypes.
FAQs

None explicitly; the verse is a doctrinal statement about incomparability (asādhāraṇatva).
