"As a Gauri (Parvati) is, so is the Ganga. Therefore, whoever worships Gauri properly also worships the Ganga And as I am, so are you, O Vishnu. And as you are, so am I. And as Uma (Parvati) is, so is the Ganga. The form is not different. And whoever says that there is some difference between Vishnu and Rudra, between Sri and Gauri, or between the Ganga and Gauri is a very foolish person."
