Where countless shrines and stakes[323] appear:

Where mango-groves and gardens grow,

And streams of pleasant water flow:

Where dwells content a well-fed race,

And countless kine the meadows grace:

Filled with the voice of praise and prayer:

Each hamlet worth a monarch's care.

Before him three-pathed Gangá rolled

Her heavenly waters bright and cold;

O'er her pure breast no weeds were spread,
