|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||











Sri Shuka continues “ Supreme Goddess Ganga is decked in garlands of skulls, she carries skull in her hand, she appears without proper clothing and  she appears in marvelous garments as well, she has subtle form, she is Yogini who undergoes strict austerities, she is aesthetic, she has assumed the form of sacred water, she has overcome the desire for food and she has complete control over senses, she is Yamini/night, she represents the sacred Kushagrass, she is timid and powerful as well, she has fierce form, she destroys the hellish tortures, she is Thara who guides us to cross the ocean of Samsara, she has loud and shrill voice, she has supreme radiance and she appears as protector of souls, she is eternal and pure, she represents fundamental part as well as empty too, she represents  galaxy, she is slender, she dwells in the milky way, she has the luster of young Adithya, she is Mathangi who is unharmed by death, she is everlasting and she is worshiped and eulogized by the deities, she is one of the forms of Adishakthi, she symbolizes mist, fumes, pleasure and blaze,  she is completely covered in mist, she is Kamakhya who symbolizes passionate sport, she dwells in the sacred land of Kashi, she has appeared as sacred watercourse in  Varanasi, she dwells in the matted hair locks of Kashinatha, she appears as sacred watercourse in seven Mokshapuri sucha as Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya, Kashi, Kanchi, Avanthika and Dwaraka, that purifies the souls. She  dwells in the sacred city of Karaveerapuram/ abode of Lord Kubera, she is sacred river Kaveri, she has beautiful plait of hair, she is the consort of Lord Shiva, she ward off all the evils of her worshiper, she has dreadful eyes, she is beloved of Shankara, she has colossal fire on her face, she is sweet and pleasant as milk, she dwells in the sacred land of cowherds/ Vraja, she is the protector of all the living beings, she has long ears, she has beautiful line of teeth, she annihilates the Dhaithyas and  Dhanavas, she destroys the wicked people, she graciously accepts the offerings made to the fire sacrifices. ”
