Maputla na gaya ng hibla ng lotus, nakadamit ng balat ng elepante; ang mga alon ng ilog Gaṅgā’y nasa kanyang ulo. Nagniningning siya sa kuwintas na ahas-haring nakapulupot, sa hanay ng mga pulseras at armlet, at sa kumikislap na mga korona at hikaw.
Narrator
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (Gaṅgādhara sambandha)
Type: river
Scene: Śiva, pale like lotus fiber, wearing elephant hide; Gaṅgā’s rippling stream crowns his head; serpent-king garland on chest; wrists and arms ringed with ornaments; crown and earrings gleam—ascetic majesty fused with regal brilliance.
It magnifies Śiva’s transcendence through sacred symbols—Gaṅgā, serpent, and ascetic attire—uniting purity, power, and renunciation in one vision.
No single tīrtha is specified; Gaṅgā is mentioned as a sacred river associated with Śiva’s iconography.
None explicitly; the verse serves as a meditative visualization of Śiva.
