जाड्यविध्वंसनकरी जगद्योनिर्जलाविला । जगदानंदजननी जलजा जलजेक्षणा
jāḍyavidhvaṃsanakarī jagadyonirjalāvilā | jagadānaṃdajananī jalajā jalajekṣaṇā
ಅವಳು ಜಾಡ್ಯವನ್ನು ಧ್ವಂಸಮಾಡುವವಳು; ಅವಳು ಜಗದ್ಯೋನಿ, ಜಲರೂಪವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರವಹಿಸುವವಳು. ಅವಳು ಜಗದಾನಂದಜನನಿ; ಪದ್ಮಜಾ, ಪದ್ಮೇಕ್ಷಣಾ—ಕಾಶಿಯ ಮಂಗಳಶಕ್ತಿಯಾಗಿ ಸ್ತುತಿಸಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತಾಳೆ.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Jāḍya-vidhvaṃsinī aspect)
Type: ghat
Listener: Ṛṣis / tīrtha audience
Scene: Gaṅgā as a lotus-eyed goddess rising from river-lotuses, sending a bright current that dissolves a grey fog of dullness; devotees awaken at dawn on ghāṭas, lamps still glowing.
The Goddess awakens clarity and bliss by destroying inner dullness; in Kāśī, her grace is portrayed as both cosmic source and inner illumination.
Kāśī is the contextual sacred locus of this hymn in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa.
No explicit prescription; the verse supports meditative praise aimed at awakening (removal of jāḍya) and realization of ānanda.
