EnglishGANGES, (The River) गङ्गा, गङ्गाका, गङ्गिका. The name
Gangā is derived from the root gam, ‘to go, ’ i. e. ‘that
which goes or flows on the earth, ’ whence also the name
भवायना, ‘going in the world.’ (Daughter of Jahnu.
The Ganges in its course from heaven disturbed the de-
votions of this saint, upon which he drank up its waters,
but released them again at the intercession of the sage
Bhagīratha. Hence the following names) जाह्नवी, जह्नुतनया,
जह्नुसुता, भागीरथी (Crest of Siva. The Ganges, in its descent
from heaven, alighted on the head of Siva, where it
wandered for a time in the tresses of his hair) हरशेखरा.
(River of heaven) स्वर्णदी, सुरनदी, सुरनिम्नगा, स्वरापगा, स्वर्गगङ्गा,
स्वर्वापी, खापगा, सिद्धापगा.
— (Flowing in heaven, earth, and
hell) त्रिपथगा, त्रिस्रोताः (स्).
— (Flowing from the foot of
Vishnu) विष्णुपदी.
— (Mother of Bhīṣma) भीष्मसूः
— (The
very auspicious one) महाभद्रा.
