ସେ ଦୁର୍ଭାଗ୍ୟ ଓ ବିନାଶକୁ ନାଶ କରନ୍ତି; ଅଧର୍ମବିରୋଧେ ଦାବାଗ୍ନି ପରି ଜ୍ୱଳନ୍ତି। ସେ ପ୍ରବାହମାନ ଧନ-ଦ୍ରବ୍ୟର ଏକମାତ୍ର ନିଧି; ଦୀନଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତାପ ଶମନକାରିଣୀ ଦାତ୍ରୀ, ଏବଂ ଦାହଜ୍ୱର-ପୀଡାର ବୈରିଣୀ।
Skanda (deduced for Kāśī-khaṇḍa context, commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī
Type: ghat
Listener: Purāṇa audience
Scene: Gaṅgā as fierce protective flame against evil yet tenderly blessing the poor; on the ghāṭa, devotees distribute food and coins; a fevered sufferer is soothed by sacred water.
Divine grace is portrayed as both protective and restorative—removing misfortune, easing poverty, and dispelling affliction.
The verse belongs to the Kāśī-khaṇḍa’s praise-context, linking the Goddess’s beneficence to Kāśī’s sacred field.
No explicit ritual is stated; the theme supports dāna (giving) and compassionate support of the distressed.
