Thereat, O Rāghava, reading her insolence, Jahnu, waxing wroth, drank up all her wonderful waters. Thereupon, the deities, and the Gandharvas, and the saints, struck with amazement fell to worshipping that foremost of men, the high-souled Jahnu.
तस्यावलेपनं ज्ञात्वा क्रुद्धो जह्वश्च राघव॥ अपिबत् तु जलं सर्वं गङ्गायाः परमाद्भुतम्। ततो देवाः सगन्धर्वा ऋषयश्च सुविस्मिताः॥ पूजयन्ति महात्मानं जहुँ पुरुषसत्तमम्।
