ព្រះនាងដែលអាចចាប់យល់បានតែដោយការសម្របសម្រួលចិត្ត; ជាមាតានៃទេវតា; អ្នកបង្ហាញលោកទេវៈ។ ទេវីជាទីស្រឡាញ់របស់ទេវាធិទេវ—ព្រះនាងប្រទានតំណែងនៃអ្នកអភិបាលទិសទាំងឡាយ។
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Kāśī-Gaṅgā)
Type: ghat
Scene: Personified Gaṅgā-Devī, radiant and maternal, seated on a makara, holding kamaṇḍalu/lotus, with dikpālas in the background receiving their stations; Kāśī ghāṭas and temples faintly visible.
Spiritual attainment depends on dama (self-restraint); through disciplined devotion the Goddess reveals higher worlds and grants exalted spiritual status.
Kāśī remains the implied sacred ground of this stuti, presenting it as a dharmic path within the Kāśī Mahātmya tradition.
The key prescription is ethical-dharmic: dama (self-control) as the prerequisite for truly ‘grasping’ the Goddess.
