गङ्गोवाच । त्वत्पादकमलाद्भ्रष्टा गङ्गा सहचरा विभो । यदृच्छया त्रिलोकेश वन्द्यमाना दिवौकसैः
gaṅgovāca | tvatpādakamalādbhraṣṭā gaṅgā sahacarā vibho | yadṛcchayā trilokeśa vandyamānā divaukasaiḥ
Gaṅgā bersabda: “Wahai Tuhan Yang Mahakuasa, aku Gaṅgā—pengiring-Mu—tergelincir dari teratai kaki-Mu; oleh kehendak nasib aku berada di sini, wahai Penguasa tiga dunia, dimuliakan oleh para penghuni surga.”
Gaṅgā
Sacred rivers are not merely physical waters; they are divine in origin and worthy of reverence across the three worlds.
The verse reinforces the sanctity of Gaṅgā within the broader tirtha-mahātmya narrative of the Revā Khaṇḍa.
No explicit rite is prescribed; the emphasis is on Gaṅgā’s divine provenance and worship-worthiness.
