Oh Paaduka! Siva bore You on his head with great relish, in order that

Ganga on his head could get relieved of the bad taint acquired to it

because

of the contact with Brahma's skull (That Siva became holy and

auspicious

because of Ganga from the Lord Vishnu's feet falling on him is a

different

story; here Ganga herself is being sanctified.)

 

Namo Narayana,
