وہ تمام گناہوں کے سیلاب کو کاٹ دیتی ہے؛ ریاکاری کو مٹا دیتی اور فریب کو دور کر دیتی ہے۔ وہ دیوی لوکوں کو ڈھانپ کر حفاظت کرتی ہے اور ہر بندھن کو بےباقی توڑ دیتی ہے۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Jāhnavī-tīra)
Type: ghat
Listener: Śaunaka and ṛṣis (Naimiṣāraṇya frame, typical)
Scene: Personified Gaṅgā as a radiant goddess on a riverbank at Kāśī, cutting through dark clouds of sin and snapping chains of bondage; devas above sheltered as if by her protective veil.
Divine grace is ethical and liberating: the Goddess destroys deceit and hypocrisy, removes sin, and breaks the chains binding the soul.
Kāśī is the implied sacred context of the hymn within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa.
No explicit rite; the verse implies devotional praise as a means for pāpa-kṣaya and bandha-vimocana (release from bondage).
