तत्र चाह्वानिता गङ्गा ब्रह्माद्यैरखिलैः सुरैः । अभ्यर्च्येशं जगन्नाथं देवदेवं जगद्गुरुम्
tatra cāhvānitā gaṅgā brahmādyairakhilaiḥ suraiḥ | abhyarcyeśaṃ jagannāthaṃ devadevaṃ jagadgurum
Tại đó, Gaṅgā được chư thiên, đứng đầu là Brahmā, thỉnh mời; sau khi họ đã phụng thờ Īśa—Jagannātha, Thần của các thần, bậc Thầy của thế gian.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (invoked) / Vindhya summit (ritual locus)
Type: peak
Listener: King
Scene: On the mountain summit, Brahmā and all the gods perform elaborate worship of Īśa—Lord of the universe—then ritually invoke Gaṅgā to appear.
Even the gods approach world-benefiting works through worship: divine grace and right order begin with honoring Īśa.
The scene is set at Vindhya’s summit within the Revā Khaṇḍa narrative, leading into the sanctification of the associated tīrtha tradition.
Worship (abhyarcana) of Śiva precedes the invocation (āhvāna) of Gaṅgā—an implied ritual sequence of reverence before sacred action.
