शुद्धा नदी गौतम शीलतीर्था अनाविला सद्भिः सदा प्रशस्ता ।
यस्मिं ह्रदे देवगणेहि स्नातो ओगाढगात्रो प्रतरामि पारं ॥ १५३ ॥

śuddhā nadī gautama śīlatīrthā anāvilā sadbhiḥ sadā praśastā |
yasmiṃ hrade devagaṇehi snāto ogāḍhagātro pratarāmi pāraṃ || 153 ||

“Pure, O Gautama, is the stream which has virtue for its bathing-strand. Untainted is it and ever commended by good men. Bathed and immersed by the deva hosts in its water I cross over to the shore beyond. (153)
