गंगायां तु नरः स्नात्वा यो लिंगं नित्यमर्चति । एकेन जन्मना मुक्तिं परां प्राप्नोति स ध्रुवम्
gaṃgāyāṃ tu naraḥ snātvā yo liṃgaṃ nityamarcati | ekena janmanā muktiṃ parāṃ prāpnoti sa dhruvam
Mas o homem que se banha na sagrada Gaṅgā e, em seguida, venera diariamente o Liṅga, numa só existência alcança com certeza a libertação suprema (mokṣa).
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (Kāśī)
Type: ghat
Scene: A disciplined sādhaka at dawn completes Gaṅgā bath, then enters a small shrine to worship a liṅga with bilva and water; behind, a subtle vision of liberation—light opening upward—suggests ‘eka-janma’ certainty.
A disciplined union of tīrtha-sevā (Gaṅgā bathing) and nitya-bhakti (daily Liṅga worship) is praised as a direct path to liberation.
Gaṅgā in Kāśī, alongside the Śiva-liṅga worship tradition of the sacred city.
Bathe in the Gaṅgā and worship the Śiva-liṅga daily (nitya-arcana).
