सर्वेषामेव पुण्यानां कदाचित्क्षयमीक्षते । गङ्गायां पतिते देहे भवेत्पुण्यक्षयो न हि
sarveṣāmeva puṇyānāṃ kadācitkṣayamīkṣate | gaṅgāyāṃ patite dehe bhavetpuṇyakṣayo na hi
Of all merits indeed one sees at some time an exhaustion; but when the body has fallen in the Gaṅgā there is no exhaustion of merit at all.

बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन निश्चितं कथ्यतेऽधुना । गङ्गायां त्यक्तदेहस्य महिमा ज्ञायते नहि
bahunātra kimuktena niścitaṃ kathyate'dhunā | gaṅgāyāṃ tyaktadehasya mahimā jñāyate nahi
What is the use of much speaking here? Now the certainty is told: the greatness of one who has given up his body in the Gaṅgā is simply not known.

विषमदुरितराशीनाशि गाङ्गं नरो यः स्पृशति भुवि कदाचिद्भावुको भक्तिभावैः । जगदुदधिजलं विलंघ्य घोरं व्रजति स पारमपारतुष्टि नावा
viṣamaduritarāśīnāśi gāṅgaṃ naro yaḥ spṛśati bhuvi kadācidbhāvuko bhaktibhāvaiḥ | jagadudadhijalaṃ vilaṃghya ghoraṃ vrajati sa pāramapāratuṣṭi nāvā
The man who, moved by feelings of devotion, once on earth touches the Gaṅgā's water, destroyer of heaps of grievous sins — he, crossing over the dreadful ocean-water of the world, goes by that boat to the shore of boundless contentment.
