He, not regardless of the weal

Of the three worlds, with holy zeal

His daughter to the Immortals gave,

Gangá whose waters cleanse and save,

Who roams at pleasure, fair and free,

Purging all sinners, to the sea.

The three-pathed Gangá thus obtained,

The Gods their heavenly homes regained.

Long time the sister Umá passed

In vows austere and rigid fast,
