दक्षां पृश्चिं बृहतीं विप्रकृष्टां शिवामृद्धां भागिनीं सुप्रसन्नाम् । विभावरीं सर्वभूतप्रतिष्ठां गड़्ां गता ये त्रिदिवं गतास्ते
dakṣāṃ pṛśniṃ bṛhatīṃ viprakṛṣṭāṃ śivām ṛddhāṃ bhāginīṃ suprasannām | vibhāvarīṃ sarvabhūtapratiṣṭhāṃ gaṅgāṃ gatā ye tridivaṃ gatās te ||

सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Taking refuge in sacred, dharma-aligned sources of purification—here personified as Gaṅgā—destroys sin and leads to spiritual uplift, expressed as attaining heavenly realms; devotion and surrender are presented as ethically transformative.
A Siddha extols Gaṅgā with a chain of epithets: her divine lineage and relations, her auspicious and merit-filled nature, her special sanctity through Śiva’s bearing her, her power to annihilate sin, and the promised fruit that those who seek her refuge reach heaven.
