जीवनं जीवनप्राणा जगज्ज्येष्ठा जगन्मयी । जीवजीवातुलतिका जन्मिजन्मनिबर्हिणी
jīvanaṃ jīvanaprāṇā jagajjyeṣṭhā jaganmayī | jīvajīvātulatikā janmijanmanibarhiṇī
वह जीवन है, प्राणियों की प्राण-शक्ति है; वह जगत् की ज्येष्ठा और जगन्मयी है। वह समस्त जीवों की जीवन-रस-लता है और जन्म-पर-जन्म के चक्र को उखाड़ फेंकने वाली है।
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.
