- सदैव नन्दिनन्दकेलिशालिकुञ्जमञ्जुला तटोत्थफुल्लमल्लिकाकदम्बरेणुसूज्ज्वला । जलावगाहिनां नृणां भवाब्धिसिन्धुपारदा धुनोतु नो मनोमलं कलिन्दनन्दिनी सदा ॥८॥
- Ever sweet with bowers fit for Nanda's son's sport, blazing with pollen of full jasmine and kadamba risen from her banks, ferry across the ocean of becoming for men who plunge in her waters, may Kalinda's daughter wash away our mind's impurity.
Her groves sweet with jasmine dust and her power to carry bathers across samsara unite beauty and liberation; those who immerse in her waters cross the sea of becoming because the sacred stream and the Lord's playground are one grace.
