All glories to srila Prabhupada
When kashmiri pandit composed 100 shlokas on Ganges, in which then mahaprabhu out one mistake, on using the word referring to the husband of Bhavani, i.e, lord shiva.
What did he write which made the use of this word redundant there. What was this word used for?

bhavānī-śabde kahe mahādevera gṛhiṇī
tāṅra bhartā kahile dvitīya bhartā jāni
“The word ‘bhavānī’ means ‘the wife of Lord Śiva.’ But when we mention her husband, one might conclude that she has another husband.
‘śiva-patnīra bhartā’ ihā śunite viruddha
‘viruddha-mati-kṛt’ śabda śāstre nahe śuddha
“It is contradictory to hear that Lord Śiva’s wife has another husband. The use of such words in literature creates the fault called viruddha-mati-kṛt.
The Lord said, ‘In your description of the glories of the Ganges, you have made one mistake. You have said bhavānī-bhartā. The word bhavānī means the wife of Bhava (Lord Śiva), so her husband is automatically understood. Thus the phrase bhavānī-bhartā is a fault of redundancy.
Well, this is about grammar correction that Lord tried to make to set right Kashmiri pandita. As Kashmiri pandit became puffed up with pride of knowledge of poetry.
