गणा विमानं नयत मनःपवनचक्रिणम् । पंचास्यायुतसंयुक्तं रत्नसानुध्वजोच्छ्रितम्
gaṇā vimānaṃ nayata manaḥpavanacakriṇam | paṃcāsyāyutasaṃyuktaṃ ratnasānudhvajocchritam
“O mga Gaṇa, dalhin ninyo ang vimāna na kasingbilis ng isip at hangin—may sampung libong pangkat na may limang mukha, at may mga watawat na nakataas sa mga tuktok na hitik sa hiyas.”
Śiva (deduced from immediate command to Gaṇas)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Audience within Kāśī discourse
Scene: Śiva commands a gathered host of gaṇas; in the sky a radiant vimāna approaches, moving like thought and wind, crowded with five-faced attendants, jeweled peaks and streaming banners.
Divine assistance arises when the Lord wills protection; sacred travel is portrayed as guided by Śiva’s compassionate authority.
The Kāśī Khaṇḍa context underscores Kāśī as the sphere of Mahādeva’s rule, where divine agencies (Gaṇas) act swiftly.
No ritual; it is a command initiating divine conveyance (vimāna) for immediate action.
