The sacred river Jaanhavee Gang\u0101 ) fell in the sacred head of Rudra
(Shiva). This indicates that rudra is already sacred and pure and doesn't require anything to purify him or make him sacred .

The root word da - also has the meaning one who purifies . By that the meaning of kapardee is one who makes the river gang\u0101 sacred. Ganga which is already a pure river from heaven gained more sacredness and worship because it fell in his head and came to earth through his body. Said in R\u0101m\u0101yana
