Bhāgīratha’s Tapas and the Petition to Gaṅgā (गङ्गावतरण-प्रसङ्गः)
Devanagari script
तानुवाच महाभाग: सर्वलोकपितामह: । गच्छध्वं त्रिदशा: सर्वे लोकै: सार्ध यथागतम्,उस समय सर्वलोकपितामह महाभाग ब्रह्माने उनसे कहा--“देवताओ! तुम सभी इन सब लोगोंके साथ जैसे आये हो, वैसे लौट जाओ
Transliteration
tān uvāca mahābhāgaḥ sarvalokapitāmahaḥ | gacchadhvaṃ tridaśāḥ sarve lokaiḥ sārdhaṃ yathāgatam ||
Translation
Then the illustrious Brahmā, the grandsire of all worlds, addressed them: “O gods, all of you—return together with these beings, just as you came.” The command restores cosmic order: the divine assembly is dismissed without excess, and each returns to their proper sphere in accordance with right procedure.
