जीवनं जीवनप्राणा जगज्ज्येष्ठा जगन्मयी । जीवजीवातुलतिका जन्मिजन्मनिबर्हिणी
jīvanaṃ jīvanaprāṇā jagajjyeṣṭhā jaganmayī | jīvajīvātulatikā janmijanmanibarhiṇī
Она — сама жизнь, дыхание живых существ; она — древнейшая и высочайшая в мире, и мир пребывает в её собственном бытии. Она — жизненная сущность всего живого и с корнем вырывает круг повторяющихся рождений, рождение за рождением.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Jīvana-prāṇa aspect)
Type: ghat
Listener: Ṛṣis / pilgrims in frame
Scene: Gaṅgā as cosmic mother whose waters appear as luminous breath entering beings; a wheel of births dissolves behind her; pilgrims on ghāṭas meditate in stillness.
The Goddess is the inner life-force and also the liberator: devotion aims not only at worldly vitality but at ending saṃsāra (repeated birth).
Kāśī is the contextual pilgrimage-field in which this liberating power is celebrated in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa.
No explicit ritual act is stated; the verse supports liberation-oriented remembrance and praise.
