Your naturally beautiful reflection will gain entry into the clear waters of the	A
Gambhira River as into a clear mind Therefore it is not fitting that you out	B
of obstinancy should render futile her glances which are the darting leaps of	C
little fish as white as night lotus flowers	D
	-
Removing her blue garment which is her water exposing her hips which are	E
her banks it is clutched by cane branches as if grasped by her hands	F
Departure will inevitably be difficult for you who tarries O friend Who	G
having experienced enjoyment is able to forsake another whose loins are laid	H
bare	I
	-
A cool breeze grown pleasant through contact with the scent of the earth	J
refreshed by your showers which is inhaled by elephants with a pleasing	K
sound at their nostrils and which is the ripener of wild figs in the forest	L
gently fans you who desire to proceed to Devagiri	I
	-
There you taking the form of a cloud of flowers should bathe Skanda who	G
always resides there with a shower of flowers wet with the water of the	A
heavenly Ganges For he is the energy surpassing the sun that was born into	G
the mouth of the fire by the bearer of the crescent moon for the purpose of	C
protecting the forces of of the sons of Indra	I
	-
Then with claps of thunder magnified by their own echoes you should cause	M
to dance the peacock of the son of Agni the corners of whose eyes are bathed	N
by the light of the crescent moon at the head of Shiva and whose discarded	O
tail feather ringed by rays of light Parvati placed behind her ear next	P
to the petal of the blue lotus out of her love for her son	Q
	-
Having worshipped that god born in a reedbed after you have travelled	R
further your route abandoned by siddha couples carrying lutes because they	S
fear rain drops you should descend while paying homage to the glory of	C
Randideva born from the slaughter of the daughter of Surabhi and who	G
arose on earth in the form or a river	I
	-
When you the robber of the complexion of bearer of the bow Sharnga stoop	T
to drink the water of that river which is broad but appears narrow from a	A
distance those who range the skies when they look down will certainly see	U
that the stream resembles a single string of pearls on the earth enlarged at	V
its centre with a sapphire	I
	-
Having crossed the river go on making yourself into a form worthy of the	A
curiosity of the eyes of the women of Dashapura adept in the amorous play of	C
their tendril like eyebrows whose dark and variageted brilliance flashes up at	V
the fluttering of their eyelashes and whose splendour has been stolen from the	A
bees attendant on tossing kunda flowers	D
	-
Then entering the district of Brahmavarta accompanied by your shadow you	G
should proceed to the plain of the Kurus evocative of the battle of the	A
warriors where the one whose bow is Gandiva brought down showers of	C
hundreds of sharp arrows just as you bring down showers of rain on the faces	W
of the lotuses	W
	-
Having partaken of the waters of the Sarasvati which were enjoyed by the	A
bearer of the plough who was averse to war on account of his love for his	W
kinsfolk after he had forsaken the wine of agreeable flavour which was	W
marked by the reflection of Revati s eyes you friend will be purified within	X
only your colour will be black	Y
	-
From there you should go to the daughter of Jahnu above the Kanakhula	Z
mountains where she emerges from the Himalaya who provided a flight of	C
steps to heaven for the sons of Sagara and who laughing with her foam at the	A
frown on the face of Gauri made a grab at the hair of Shambhu and clasped	A2
his crescent moon with her wave hands	W
	-
If you like an elephant of the gods your front partly inclining down from the	A
sky to drink her waters which are pure as crystal in an instrant because of	C
your reflection on her gliding current she would become very lovely as if	B2
united with the Yamuna in second location	Q
	-
Having reached the mountain which is the source of that very river whose	W
crags are made fragrant with the scent of the musk of the deer that recline	C2
there white with snow reposing on the summit which dispells the fatigue of	C
travel you will take on the splendour like that of the white soil cast up	D2
by the bull of the three eyed one	Q
	-
If when the wind is blowing a forest fire were to afflict the mountain	Q
ignited by the friction of branches of the sarala trees burning with its	W
flames the tailhairs of the yaks it would befit you to extinguish it	E2
completely with thousands of torrents of water for the resources of the	A
great have as their fruit the alleviation of those who suffer misfortune	Q
	-
The sharabha there intent on springing in anger at you who departs from	F2
their path would lunge at you only to break their own limbs You should	G2
cover them with a tumultuous storm of hail and rain Who intent upon a	A
fruitless endeavour would not be the object of contempt	H2
	-
There with your body bowed in devotion you should circumambulate the	A
foot print of the one wears the half moon diadem which is continually	Z
heaped with offerings from ascetics and at the sight of which at their	I
departure from the bodies cleansed of their misdeeds the faithful are able to	G
achieve the immuteable state of membership of Shiva s following	K
	-
The bamboo canes filled with the wind sound sweetly Victory over the three	Z
cities is celebrated in song by the Kinnari demi gods If your rumbling like a	A
muraja drum resounds in the caves the theme of a concert for Shiva will be	Z
complete	I2
	-
Having passed various features on the flanks of the Himalayas proceed thence	W
north to Krauncarandhra gateway for wild geese which was the route to glory	Z
for Bhrgupati you whose beautiful form is flat and long like the dark blue	G
foot of Vishnu uplifted for the suppression of Bali	Z
	-
And having gone further become the guest of Mt Kailasa the seams of whose	W
peaks were rent by the arms of the ten faced one and which is a mirror for	I
the consorts of the Thirty Gods and which extending with lofty peaks like	J2
white lotuses stands in the sky like the loud laughter of the three eyed	K2
one accumulated day by day	S
	-
I foresee that when you resembling glossy powdered kohl reach the foot of	C
that mountain as white as a freshly cut piece of ivory the imminent beauty	Z
will be fit to be gazed upon with an unerring eye like the dark blue garment	L2
placed on the shoulder of the plough carrier	I
	-
And if Gauri should take a walk on the foot of that pleasure hill lent a hand	M2
by Shiva who has set aside his serpent bracelet your shape transformed into a	A
flight of steps your torrents of water withheld within yourself become a	A
stairway rising in front of her for the ascent of the jewel slopes	W
	-
There the young women of the gods will use you as a shower you whose	W
waters are brought forth by the striking together of the diamonds in their	I
bracelets If friend you were unable to release yourself from them being	K
encountered in the hot season startle them who are intent on playing with	N2
you with claps of thunder harsh to the ear	I
	-
Partaking of the waters of Manasa which bring forth golden lotuses bringing	K
at pleasure momentary delight like a cloth upon the face of Airavata shaking	K
with your winds the sprouts of wish fulfilling trees like garments enjoy the	A
king of mountains with various playful actions O cloud	O2
	-
Once you who wander at will have seen Alaka seated in the lap of the	A
mountain like a lover with the Ganges like a garment that has slipped you	G
will not fail to recognise her again with her lofty palaces and bearing hosts of	C
clouds with showers of rain at the time of year when you are present	L2
resembling a woman whose tresses are interwoven with strings of pearls	W
