triśūlavyagrahastāya namastripathagādhara | triviṣṭapādhināthāya trivedīpaṭhitāya ca
उग्र त्रिशूल धारण करणाऱ्यास नमस्कार; हे त्रिपथगा गंगाधरा, आपणास नमस्कार। हे त्रिविष्टप (स्वर्गलोक) अधिनाथा, नमस्कार; आणि त्रिवेदीने पठित-स्तुत्य प्रभो, नमस्कार।
Skanda (deduced for Kāśī Khaṇḍa context: Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Tripathagā) / Gaṅgādhara-Śiva sambandha
Type: ghat
Scene: Śiva with trident raised, Gaṅgā emerging from His matted locks as a three-tiered flow (heavenly stream, earthly river, subterranean current suggested symbolically); devas in Svarga (Triviṣṭapa) bow; Vedic sages chant.
Śiva is portrayed as both protector (trident-bearing) and sanctifier (bearer of Gaṅgā), revered by Vedic revelation and heavenly beings.
Kāśī’s sacred landscape is implied through the Gaṅgā association central to Kāśī Māhātmya.
No explicit ritual; the verse supports Gaṅgā-Śiva remembrance while in Kāśī or during pilgrimage recitation.
