धर्मस्व (dharmasva)

 
पुराणम्
English
धर्मस्व / DHARMASVA. A Brahmin. Once this Brahmin was coming home with water from the Gaṇges. On the way he saw Kāpakalpa, the servant of merchant ratnākara, being killed by an ox. Though Kāpakalpa was a sinner, his end aroused pity in the heart of the Brahmin. So he sprinkled the Ganges-water on the body of Kāpakalpa, who instantly regained life and energy. The Brahmin who saw the power of Ganges-water began to worship the Ganges from that day onwards. It is mentioned in padma purāṇa, kriyā Khaṇḍa, Chapter 7, that finally the Brahmin got a boon from the Ganges that only uttering the name of the Ganges should he meet with death.
