The gods, and the saints, and the Daityas, and the Dānavas, and the Rākşasas, and the foremost of Gandharvas and Yaksas, and the Kinnaras, and the mighty Uragas, and the Serpents, and the Apsaras, O Rāma, and the acquatic animals in a body following Bhagirahta's car, with glad hearts went in the wake of Gangā.
देवाः सर्षिगणाः सर्वे दैत्यदानवराक्षसाः॥ गन्धर्वयक्षप्रवराः सकिंनरमहोरगाः। सर्पाश्चाप्सरसो राम भगीरथरथानुगाः॥ गङ्गामन्वगमन् प्रीताः सर्वे जलचराश्च ये।
