पुरुषार्थाश्च सर्वे वै शक्तयो विविधाश्च याः । गंगायां सर्व एवैते सूक्ष्मरूपेण संस्थिताः
puruṣārthāśca sarve vai śaktayo vividhāśca yāḥ | gaṃgāyāṃ sarva evaite sūkṣmarūpeṇa saṃsthitāḥ
Mọi mục tiêu của đời người và muôn loại thần lực tâm linh—hết thảy đều an trụ trong sông Gaṅgā, được thiết lập dưới hình thái vi tế.

Tirtha: Gaṅgā (Kāśī-Gaṅgā)
Type: ghat
Scene: A wide Gaṅgā vista at dawn in Kāśī: the river rendered as a luminous goddess whose subtle aura contains symbolic emblems of the four puruṣārthas and radiating siddhi-śaktis, while pilgrims stand in reverent stillness on the ghāṭas.
Gaṅgā is a complete path-support—she holds within herself the full spectrum of human flourishing up to liberation.
The Gaṅgā, especially as revered in Kāśī, as the subtle seat of puruṣārthas and śaktis.
Not explicit; the verse underwrites practices like Gaṅgā-snāna, japa, and tīrtha-sevā as means to attain puruṣārthas.
