وہ تینوں لوکوں کو پاک کرنے والی اور خود سراسر پُنّیہ ہے۔ وہ قناعت بخشتی اور قناعت ہی کا روپ ہے؛ وہ تِرشْنا کو کاٹنے والی، تیرتھوں کی ماں، اور تری وِکرم (وشنو) کے قدم کے نشان سے ظہور پذیر ہے۔
Skanda
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (Viṣṇupadodbhavā) in Kāśī
Type: ghat
Listener: Ṛṣi audience in frame
Scene: Viṣṇu as Trivikrama with one foot raised; from the toe/footstep springs a luminous stream becoming Gaṅgā Devī, who then flows into Kāśī where devotees bathe; she is shown as a mother blessing pilgrims, severing a vine labeled ‘tṛṣṇā’.
True tīrtha-purity culminates in inner satisfaction: Gaṅgā purifies externally and severs craving internally.
Gaṅgā in Kāśī, contextualized within her pan-Indian cosmic origin and tīrtha-maternity.
No explicit ritual; it implies that snāna and devotion at Gaṅgā lead to purification and contentment.
