Elle porte la connaissance sacrée et dissipe la peine. Servie par des multitudes d’âges et de générations, riche d’eaux vivifiantes, puissante, demeurant au ciel et chère aux dieux.

Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī
Type: ghat
Scene: Gaṅgā as a radiant Devī above the river, attended by devas; below, Kāśī ghāṭas with pilgrims offering lamps; the river shown as abundant, powerful, and sorrow-removing.
Knowledge and devotion remove grief; divine power sustains both inner clarity and outer well-being.
The broader Kāśī-māhātmya frame is primary; the ‘abundant waters’ language resonates with Kāśī’s tīrthas and ghāṭas.
No explicit rite; implied are learning/recitation (vidyā) and worship praised by devas.
