તે ધર્મથી પ્રાપ્ત થનારી છે; તેનું જળ જ ધર્મ છે, અને ધર્મને પ્રસવતાં પણ તે સદા ધર્મિણી રહે છે. તેનું સ્વરૂપ ધ્યાનથી ગમ્ય છે; તે ધરણી છે અને ધાત્રી દ્વારા પૂજિતા છે.
Skanda (deduced for Kāśī-khaṇḍa context, commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A calm dawn scene: Gaṅgā as a serene goddess whose waters are inscribed with subtle ‘dharma’ motifs; meditators sit in stillness; Earth imagery (mountain-like steadiness, supportive hands) suggests dharaṇī; a divine figure (Dhātṛ/Brahmā as ‘sustainer’) offers reverence.
Dharma and meditation are the two gateways: right living and inner contemplation reveal the Goddess’s true nature.
It aligns with Kāśī-khaṇḍa’s sanctification of Kāśī’s dharmic waters and meditative power, though no single tirtha is named.
Meditation (dhyāna) is indicated as the means to realize her form; no detailed rite is specified.
