It is the money that makes all the difference

 

न विद्यया नैव कुलेन गौरवं जनाऽनुरागो धनिकेषु सर्वदा।

कपालिना मैलिधृताऽपि जाह्नवी प्रयाति रत्नाकरमेव सत्वरम्॥

The motley crowd ever run jumping towads people with lot of money only, perhaps seeking generous assistance. Yes, the fascination for the rich man is ubiquitous. The great knowldege,erudition, intellect, birth in some exalted lineage—all these advantages lose their shine and signicicance in front of a fat moneybag.

Take the case of Lord Shiva. His knowledge, intellect and lineage are high and without any comparison. However his worldly possessions are meagre. All He possesses is an emty human skull used as begging bowl, and obviously going around begging for alms is His avocation.After all He is Kapali.

River Gangs, Jahnavi,the daughter of Sage Jahnu, originated in the matted locks of this Shiva. He stores her there securely in all affection and with all care. Probably she is ashamed of her abode and therefore she has quickly jumped out of Shankar’s head and is rushing towards the ocean because,the huge waterfront is the treasurehouse of all precious gems..the Ratnakara. Sure,the dull ocean does not possess knowledge or lineage comparable to that of Shiva
