اے وہ جس کے ہاتھ میں تیز و تند ترشول ہے، اے تری پَتھ گا (گنگا) کے دھارک، تجھے نمسکار۔ اے سوَرگ لوکوں کے حاکمِ اعلیٰ، تجھے نمسکار؛ اور اے وہ جس کی حمد تین ویدوں میں پڑھی جاتی ہے، تجھے نمسکار۔
Skanda (deduced for Kāśī Khaṇḍa context: Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā in Kāśī (Tripathagā) / Gaṅgādhara-Śiva sambandha
Type: ghat
Scene: Śiva with trident raised, Gaṅgā emerging from His matted locks as a three-tiered flow (heavenly stream, earthly river, subterranean current suggested symbolically); devas in Svarga (Triviṣṭapa) bow; Vedic sages chant.
Śiva is portrayed as both protector (trident-bearing) and sanctifier (bearer of Gaṅgā), revered by Vedic revelation and heavenly beings.
Kāśī’s sacred landscape is implied through the Gaṅgā association central to Kāśī Māhātmya.
No explicit ritual; the verse supports Gaṅgā-Śiva remembrance while in Kāśī or during pilgrimage recitation.
