English translation

The birth of Jahnavi Rl; llcU n L! I! fl Sri Krsna said- In the meantime Siva arrived there had a smiling face and was riding on the bull. He had applied ashes on his body and was clad in the tiger skin. He has the serpents for yajfiopavlta and had matted locks of hair in golden shade on the head, which was adorned with the crescent. He held, a trident, the paffisa and the best of Khatvdnga in his hand. He carried a musical instrument made of the best of gems. He delight-fully descended from the vehicle and bowing his head with devotion, he offered his salutation to Kysna the lord of Kamala and took his seat to his left-.

Thereafter, all the gods including Indra, the sages, the Adityas, Vasus, Rudras, Manus, Siddhas and Caranas also arrived there. All of them felt emotional and offered prayer to Purusottama. Thereafter all the gods bowed in reverence to the lord Siva.

Thereafter, l^iva started music in sweet tone playing on musical instrument.

Thereafter the virtues of both of us including the praise of the divine dance of Krsna were sung. The music which influenced the mind at that point of time and the song sung with apt attention of the throat, in a pleasant sweet tone, keeping in mind, the high and low pitch, the praise of both of us was sung in one and the same tune and pleasant rhyme scheme. Ihe singing continued which provided bliss which was beyond the comprehension of the people of the universe.

All present there were overwhelmed and the tears of joy started issuing from their eyes. With the hearing of the blissful song and music, all of them felt fainted.

JiiiietiVid Tg4IH.I O dear one, all the sages including Brahma, Visnu, the courtier, LaksmI and the singers attained the form of Siva at that point of time.

The entire Vaikuntha was flooded with water. O goddess, 1 felt panicky at the sight.

Thereafter reaching there, I restored all the images (body) to their original position including their form, the weapons, the vehicles and the Their nature, the mind and the worldly pleasure were also restore as originals; the water of deluge was spread around the Vaikundia.

Thereafter the goddess Gahga herself arrived there which happened to be her abode. Since she, was created out of the bodies of the gods she came to be known as the divine river Gangs.

She bestowed salvation to those who sought for salvation and the devotion too the devotee of the lord, with the touch of the breeze flowing on the water of Ganga, the sins of all the sinners accumulated during the past crores of births, disappear. O lady of my life I do not know the reward one gets by touching it or looking at it.

But 1 shall tell you the merit one achieved by having a dip in the sacred waters of the Gahga?

Puskara region is considered to be the best of the sacred pieces of the world and the same sacred place does not compare even to the sixteenth part of the Ganga. She was brought on earth by Bhagiratha earning her the name of Bhagirathl.

She arrived here on earth only in one part and that is why she was known as Gahga. In earlier times the sage Jahnu drank the water of Gahga in rage and thereafter he released it by cutting his knee. Because of this, she came to be known as Jahnavl. Bhisma the arhsa of Vasu was himself bom out of her womb and as such she was came to be known as Bhismajanam.

At my command the Gahga started flowing in three streams in the heaven, the earth and the neither world which earned her the came of Its main stream in the heaven earned her the came of MandakinI which is the thousand yojanas in length and i^n yojanas in width.

Her water is like the milk and has high waves in water. Flowing from Vaikuntha to Brahmaloka it reached the heaven.

The stream of the Gahga which arrived over Himalaya from the heaven and than descended on earth ultimately falling into the saline water of the ocean, came to be known by the name of Alaknanda. It had the spotless clean water which moves with great speed and serves as a dry wood for burning the sins of the sinners in fire.

It was she who provided salvation to the sons of Sagara. It serves as a beautiful step for achieving the heaven.

This is the reason that at the time of death the water of Gahga is poured into the mouth of the Climbing the step in the form of Gahga, the noble people achieve Vaikuntha. They reach straight at Vaikuntha crossing Brahmaloka. In case, some one is drowned in the waters of Gahga, because of his earlier good deeds then he achieves the highest abode of the lord and resides there up to the number of ears equivalent to the number of hair on his body, where he remain with pleasure.

Thereafter he has to face the result of his good or bad deeds and the time for them was passing Thereafter they are bom in good family on the land of BhSrata and achieving the deep devotion of the lord take to his form ultimately.

In case per chance the bodies of the noble Brahmanas are carried by the Madras, then they have to remain in the hell for the number of the feet they walk on earth carrying the body but this sacred Gahga with the deform of Narayana, Kamsa rescue to those people and provide salvation to them, she makes such people to be bom in the high families in Bharata for three births and thereafter she makes them achieves the The one who travels to have a dip in the Gahga for purification, he achieves the bliss of the heaven for the number of feet with which he walks on the ground.

In case a sinner reaching the Gahga partially takes a bath, such a person is relieved of all the sins, unless he does not himself resort again to the sinful ways. In the age of Kaliyuga, the Gahga shall remain on earth for fiv^e thousand years and till such time she remain on earth the age of Kali will have little influence.

In the age of Kali my images shall remain on earth for ten thousand years and for that duration the PurSnas will also remains on earth. As such there will be little influence of the age of Kali.

g gcnTq,i The flow of Gahga reaches the nether world which earns her the name of Bhogavatl. Her water remains spotless like the milk and always flows with great speed, she always serves as an abode for the diamonds and gems as well as the sages and the female serpent girls always play over her bank. The Gahga herself has surrounded Vaikuntha from all sides which is a lakhs of yojanas in length and a thousand yojanas in This daughter of mine never gets destroyed even at the time of dissolution of the world. Her banks are always charming, divine and the store¬ houses for the gems.
