पवनः पवतामस्मि रामः शस्त्रभृतामहम् | झषाणां मकरश्चास्मि स्रोतसामस्मि जाह्नवी
pavanaḥ pavatāmasmi rāmaḥ śastrabhṛtāmaham . jhaṣāṇāṃ makaraścāsmi srotasāmasmi jāhnavī
在净化者中我是风；在持械者中我是罗摩。在鱼类中我是摩羯（鲨鱼）；在河流中我是恒河（贾赫那维）。
Of the purifiers I am air; among the wielders of weapons I am Rama. Among fishes, too, I am the shark; I am Ganga among rivers.
恒河（贾赫那维）因曾被圣者贾赫努吞噬，故得此名。罗摩是手持武器的英雄典范。
The holy river Ganga (spelt Ganges in English) was swallowed by Jahnu when she was being brought down by Bhagiratha from heaven. Hence the name Jahnavi for Ganga.
