Bhāgīratha’s Bringing of the Gaṅgā
जगद्रू पमजं नित्यं सर्गस्थित्यन्तकारणम् । विश्वरूपं विरूपाक्षं प्रणतोऽस्म्युग्ररेतसम् ॥ ७९ ॥
jagadrū pamajaṃ nityaṃ sargasthityantakāraṇam | viśvarūpaṃ virūpākṣaṃ praṇato'smyugraretasam || 79 ||
我は礼拝する。生まれざる常住の御方、宇宙そのものの姿にして、創造・維持・滅尽の因なる御方に。万有の形を具え、異なる眼をもつ主、その畏るべき強大な創造の精力を有する御方に。

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It frames the deity as the unborn, eternal ground of the cosmos—both immanent as the universe (jagadrūpa) and transcendent as its causal source for creation, sustenance, and dissolution—inviting surrender through praise.
Bhakti is expressed as praṇāma (reverent surrender): recognizing the Lord’s cosmic sovereignty (sarga-sthiti-anta-kāraṇa) and responding with humble obeisance rather than mere intellectual description.
No specific Vedāṅga practice is taught in this verse; its practical takeaway is mantra-style stotra usage—epithets (nāma/guṇa) arranged for devotional recitation and contemplation.
