It is their gift that is
creating divine tranquility, instrumental in Maharishis piling up inestimable
and inexhaustible Bharatiya vignana; it is the names of these sisters that have
become warp and woof of riverine fantasies embodying the glorious history of
some illustrious pouranic and historical personages, who wooed and wedded; it is
on the banks of these two that marry divine persons incarnated from time to
time; it is these two sisters who were worshipped by the celestials too; and it
is these twins, who blessed emancipation to the wickedest species mankind by a
mere bath. Well, such similarities and the terms of comparison are many; they
essay but one thing - telling that they are adorable river sisters, worthy of
yearning for a dip or sip.
Now
begins the contrast. It proves the superiority one over the other, but it must
be kept in mind that each is as great and pious as the other, and so none be
degraded, or assigned inferior role, or consigned to unholy places. The greater
glory, or the superiority of one is possible, and exists in comparative degree
only, else each is as good as the other and as auspicious as the other. And in
terms of utility too.
