Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Since the water of the Ganges is liquid directly related to Kṛṣṇa, it is the manifestation of kṛṣṇa-prema-rasa, the mellows of ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa. Rudra, the servant of the Supreme Lord, holds this prema-rasa on his own head.
