Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Digvijayī began to enthusiastically explain the following verse that he composed:

mahattvaṃ gaṅgāyāḥ satatam idam ābhāti nitarāṃ yad eṣā śrī-viṣṇoś caraṇa-kamalotpatti-subhagā dvitīya-śrī-lakṣmīr iva sura-narair arcya-caraṇā bhavānī-bhartur yā śirasi vibhavaty adbhuta-guṇā

“The greatness of mother Ganges always brilliantly exists. She is the most fortunate because she emanated from the lotus feet of Śrī Viṣṇu, the Personality of Godhead. She is the second goddess of fortune, and therefore she is always worshiped both by demigods and by humanity.

Endowed with all wonderful qualities, she flourishes on the head of Lord Śiva.” See Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Ādi 16.41 and 46).
