SUMMARY: Hey GangA, your feet are as soft as lotus flower; your thighs are
like the stems of banana plant; the waist-band on the sari is bright and your
stomach is lean; the necklace that spreads across the closely knit breasts, the
arm band, shining ring and bangles have added to your charm; you are wearing a
pleasant smile and your eyes are reminiscent of the eyes of deer; the pleasant
radiation around the sinews of your charming mien is reminiscent of moonlight. Anyone
thinking that your watery body is different from your personality is separate/different
from water or they are like solids or idiots.
Sri Vadirajaru is clarifying that there is a lot of difference between
ordinary water and Teertha. Teertha is the water with which the idols or images
of Gods and Goddesses are anointed. Anointment is done after invoking the
goddesses of sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Saraswati, Narmada, Sindhu
and Kaveri. The goddess of each river has a specific form and the invocation is
addressed to them. They are requested to be present in the Kalash from which
the water is drawn in a conch and used in the anointment of the God. In
general, the Kalash water is used exclusively for the anointment of Lord Vishnu
and his various incarnations.
The Teertha, as explained above, is a panacea for all diseases and a
protection from all evils.
Two more stanzas are dedicated to Ganga by Sri Vadirajaru, which will be
explained in the next episode/s.
