## Chapter Twenty-Seven
The king, pleased, distributed water for foot-washing as if it were his own. ||1||
Seeing the king there, the charioteer, his mind filled with joy, said, "This is the opportune moment." ||2||
This Ganga, like the word of Rishabhadeva, brings joy to all beings. Just as the word of Rishabhadeva destroys impurities, so too does the Ganga destroy dust. ||3||
Filled with deep and pure water, the Ganga purifies the Himalayas at its source and the ocean at its confluence. ||4||
Just as great sages, attaining the profound and sorrow-destroying knowledge, become free from pride, so too do these wild elephants, attaining this deep and sorrow-destroying Ganga, become calm, shedding the water that flows from their temples. ||5||
Here, these forest elephants drink its water, making a sound, and there, the autumn clouds, filled with pure water, fill it. ||6||
The ocean, due to its depth, always holds the flow of this Ganga, which even the high and ever-stable Vijaya mountain could not hold. ||7||
Perhaps the ocean, whose inner being is constantly burning with its salty water, will be freed from thirst by the flow of the Ganga's water. ||8||
Born from the Padma lake of the joyful Himalayas, this Ganga has become famous on earth. This is fitting, for what is born pure is worthy of worship. ||9||
This Ganga, flooding the house of Ganga Devi with its flow, is said to have fallen from the sky, inundating the world with its water. ||10||
