O foremost of men, being cleansed of his sins by asceticism, he visited that best of mountains Himalayas in order to worship Ganga. (He saw it) adorned with peaks of various forms and with many mineral wealth; all its sides were besprinkled with drops of rain from the clouds which were floating on the wind.
आरिराधयिषुर्गङ्गां तपसा दग्धकिल्बिषः। सोऽपश्यत नरश्रेष्ठ हिमवन्तं नगोत्तमम्॥ शृङ्गैर्बहुविधाकारैर्धातुमद्भिरलंकृतम्। पवनालम्बिभिर्मेधैः परिषिक्तं समन्ततः॥
