|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||
Skandha continues “The virtuous person
who is freed from luster and anger, follower of strict Varnashrama Dharma, recites the glories
of Goddess Ganga would be benefited with supreme intellect, thousands of
sacred names of Ganga provides
meritorious rewards equivalent to the sacred hymns of Goddess Gayathri, it also provides profound knowledge in Veda and
abundance of pieties, whoever read or listens to the sacred hymns of Ganga at the
time of sunset would attain the pieties
of Gurushushrushanam/merits of service to preceptor, whoever recite or listens to the glorious verses
of Ganga Sahasranama would attain the pieties
equivalent to Vedaparayana, person who is an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu
reads or listens to the sacred verses of Ganga would obtain devotion to Lord
Shiva and in the other way around as well.
Whoever recites or listens to the glorious verses of sacred names of
Ganga on daily basis would be blessed with the eternal presence of Goddess
Ganga, whoever reads or listens to the
praises of Jahnavi who is worshiped by all the deities and Rishis, would be
blessed with triumph in all endeavors and permanent happiness, Goddess Ganga is
virtuous, endowed with supreme intellect and purifier of souls is eulogized by the
preceptor of deities, it is needless to say that Goddess Ganga would be pleased
with the recital of her thousands of sacred hymns and veneration with utmost
faith and devotion.”
