Fully convinced that children and other belongings, as also regions possessed of every kind of happiness, are transitory or frail, men of subdued souls, who are desirous of acquiring that everlasting station which is at one with Brahina, always pay their adorations to Ganga with that respect and love which are due from a son to a mother.
लोकानवेक्ष्य जननीव पुत्रान् सर्वात्मना सर्वगुणोपपन्नान्। गङ्गा सदैवात्मवशरूपास्या॥
