Just as the Lakshmi of Bharata's kingdom is worthy of being enjoyed by the world, so too is this river worthy of being enjoyed by the world. And just as the Lakshmi of Bharata's kingdom is adorned with beauty from the future, so too is this river adorned with beauty from its length. - Or, she is like the army of Bharata, because just as the army of Bharata was praised for attacking the shores of the mountains for victory, so too was this river praised for attacking the shores of the mountains for victory (the Ganga river flows, attacking the shores of the mountains for victory). Just as the army of Bharata was swift, so too was this river swift. Just as no one could stop the spread of the army of Bharata, so too could no one stop the spread of this river. And just as the army of Bharata was divine, so too was this river divine.
