Sri Vadirajaru is appealing to Goddess Ganga to impart knowledge into her devotees and provide them with salvation. He says, “Oh Mother Ganga, has your ability to provide Moksha or salvation vanished after touching the skeleton of the sons of Emperor?” Does it mean that your caliber to give salvation disappeared after bestowing Moksha upon the sons of Sagara? It is very much within you. Is Vaikuntha not spacious enough? Or else is there no opportunity for me alone?  Or is the way to Vaikuntha filled with obstacles that are beyond your power to clear? Or am I not born in a spirituous family? These are the four reasons for not being able to attain salvation or fulfill my earthly desires. Therefore dear mother, you must bestow upon me the heavens or Vaikuntha.
