The high-souled ones saw near the great Badari tree, the Bhagirathi of easy descent and cool water, adorned with beautiful lotuses, with stairs made of rubies and corals, beautified with trees and scattered over with celestials flowers and giving great pleasure to the mind.
भागीरथी सुतीर्थां च शीतां विमलपङ्कजाम्। मणिप्रवालप्रस्तारां पादपैरुपशोभिताम्॥ दिव्यपुष्पसमाकीर्णां मनःप्रीतिविवर्धिनीम्। वीक्षमाणा महात्मानो विशाला बदरीमनु॥
