她以神圣之爱欲而光耀,使湿婆欢喜;她是容纳美与娴雅的宝藏。她是诸世界之母,为诸世界所礼敬,并以翻涌起舞的波涛为鬘。
Skanda
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (wave-garlanded) at Kāśī
Type: ghat
Scene: Gaṅgā as a luminous mother-goddess rising from the river, her hair and garments blending into rolling waves like a garland; Śiva smiling in the background; pilgrims offering flowers at a Kāśī ghāṭa.
Divine beauty is not mere aesthetics—it is world-sustaining grace that draws the soul toward worship and auspiciousness.
Kāśī’s riverine sacredness is suggested through wave imagery, naturally resonant with the Gaṅgā and the ghāṭas of Vārāṇasī.
No explicit rite; the verse complements Gaṅgā-oriented devotion—darśana, stuti, and inward reverence.
