अनुवाद

"Likewise the four oceans, and the river that is Bhagirathi [the Ganga], Kalindi [the Yamuna], Vidisha, Venna, swift-flowing Narmada, Vipasha and Shatadru, Chandrabhaga, Sarasvati, Iravati, Vitasta, Sindhu — the divine river, Godavari, Krishnavenna, and Kaveri, best of rivers — these and other rivers, and sacred fords, and lakes."

भाष्य

Here the sacred rivers themselves stand before the lord of the waters as living worshippers. It is significant that the Ganga, the Yamuna, the Sarasvati, and the rest are not mere streams but ensouled shrines: the waters that purify the world themselves bow before the source of their own dominion. Thus scripture reveals the sanctity of the rivers and their subjection to what is higher; and the roll-call of waters continues.
