WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Among sacred and flowing things I am the holy Ganges, and among steady bodies of water I am the ocean. Among weapons I am the bow, and of the wielders of weapons I am Lord Śiva.

PURPORT

Lord Śiva used his bow to completely cover with arrows the three demoniac cities built by Maya Dānava.
