गङ्गामाहात्म्य — The Greatness of the Gaṅgā
स्वर्गादाहृत्य सततं रम्भाद्या देवयोषितः । भजन्ति सागरास्ता वै कचग्रहबलात्कृताः ॥ ७६ ॥
svargādāhṛtya satataṃ rambhādyā devayoṣitaḥ | bhajanti sāgarāstā vai kacagrahabalātkṛtāḥ || 76 ||
诸海不断将天界的天女——如蓝婆(Rambhā)等——带下人间;它们确与这些天女相伴,皆因被卡恰格拉哈(Kacagraha)之力所迫。

It frames a Puranic cosmological motif: even celestial beings and natural forces (like the oceans) move under higher powers, reminding the listener that worldly and heavenly phenomena are governed by superior cosmic order rather than personal autonomy.
Indirectly, it supports Bhakti by emphasizing dependence: if even apsarases and oceans are compelled by higher force, then surrender (śaraṇāgati) to the Supreme—often taught in the Narada Purana as devotion to Vishnu—is the stable refuge beyond changing cosmic conditions.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is taught in this verse; it functions primarily as Puranic cosmology/etiology rather than a technical instruction.
