Therefore, saints are Godavari

so full of grace:

Amongst all the beings

Your place is the  highest!                                                    ….39

From the beginning of creation

Godavari has been in existence;

It has been full of water

And it has never lacked it till today.                                    ….40

Look, the enemy  of RAVAN⁶

Came to the banks of the Godavari

But it's water has flowed

And the water at present is not the same as old  water.   ….41

The bed alone remains the same.

The waters have flowed into the ocean,

The sanctity is eternal

Of the river - bed, to this  day.                                           ….42

6. i.e. Rama

Each year,

The old waters  go and the new

Flow into the river bed;

It's the law, as you  know.                                                 ….43

A century is like a year

The sages of that century

Are like the flowing waters

While the great souls are like the waves on the water.    ….44

Of these saints who are like Godari,

In the early centuries,

There was a great flood

Of  SANAT - SANAK - SANANDAN.⁷                                     ….45

7. Three sons of Bramadev who were born of his own mental conception.
