The Greatness of Haridvāra
Gaṅgādvāra-māhātmya
यस्तत्र नियतो मर्त्यो गंगानामसहस्रकम् । त्रिकालं पठति स्नात्वा सोऽक्षयां संततिं लभेत् ॥ ५२ ॥
yastatra niyato martyo gaṃgānāmasahasrakam | trikālaṃ paṭhati snātvā so'kṣayāṃ saṃtatiṃ labhet || 52 ||
ຜູ້ມະນຸດຜູ້ມີວິໄນຢູ່ທີ່ນັ້ນ ຫຼັງອາບນ້ຳແລ້ວ ອ່ານ «ນາມພັນຂອງແມ່ຄັງຄາ» ສາມເທື່ອຕໍ່ມື້ ຈະໄດ້ສາຍສະກຸນອັນບໍ່ເສື່ອມສູນ.
Narada (in dialogue with Sanatkumara, within the Uttara-Bhaga tīrtha-mahātmya narration)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches a tīrtha-based sādhana: disciplined bathing (snāna) followed by Gaṅgā-sahasranāma recitation at the three daily junctions, promising akṣaya-saṃtati—enduring continuity and auspicious flourishing of one’s lineage.
By prescribing repeated name-recitation (nāma-japa/paṭha) focused on Gaṅgā as a sacred divine presence, it frames devotion as steady daily practice (niyama) supported by purity through snāna.
Kalpa (ritual procedure) is implied through the rule of snāna followed by trikāla recitation, and Jyotiṣa/time-discipline is reflected in observing the three daily times (morning–midday–evening) for the practice.
