वियद्व्यापी सुरसरित्प्रवाहो विप्रुषाकृतिः । बभूव यस्य शिरसि कस्तस्मात्परमो भवेत्
viyadvyāpī surasaritpravāho vipruṣākṛtiḥ | babhūva yasya śirasi kastasmātparamo bhavet
آسمان کو بھر دینے والا دیوی ندی کا بہاؤ بھی اس کے سر پر محض ایک بوند بن گیا؛ اس سے بڑھ کر کون ہو سکتا ہے؟
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (Viṣṇupadī/Surasarit)
Type: river
Scene: Śiva as Gaṅgādhara: the vast celestial river arcs through the sky yet condenses into a tiny droplet resting on His jaṭā, with devas watching in astonishment.
The immeasurable is made manageable by Śiva; the Divine can contain and sanctify overwhelming powers.
The verse evokes Gaṅgā’s descent motif rather than naming a single site; it aligns with Gaṅgā’s sacred geography broadly.
None directly; it supports reverence for Śiva as Gaṅgādhara and for Gaṅgā as a purifier.
