## Twenty-Seventh Chapter
Then the king of men, Bharat, cast his gaze upon the Ganga, which seemed to be offering him a foot-bath with its pure waters. || 1 ||
Seeing the king's gaze fixed upon the Ganga, the charioteer spoke words that delighted his mind, saying, "This is a timely opportunity, O King!" || 2 ||
This Ganga, like the words of the Lord Rishabhadeva, brings joy to all the worlds. Just as the words of Rishabhadeva destroy all sins, so too does this Ganga destroy dust and impurities. || 3 ||
This Ganga, filled with deep and pure water, purifies the Himalayas at its source and the ocean at its confluence. || 4 ||
Just as great sages, upon attaining the profound and sorrow-destroying knowledge of true wisdom, become free from pride, so too do these wild elephants, upon reaching this deep and sorrow-destroying Ganga, become calm, shedding their pride, the water that flows from their temples. || 5 ||
Here, these forest elephants drink its water, making a sound, and there, the clouds of the autumn season fill it with rain. || 6 ||
The ocean, with its deep nature, always holds the flow of this Ganga, which even the lofty and ever-immovable Mount Vijaya could not bear. || 7 ||
Perhaps the ocean, whose inner being is constantly burning with its salty water, will be quenched by the flow of this Ganga's water. || 8 ||
This Ganga, born from the Padma lake in the Himalayas, like a pure mind, has become famous on earth. It is right that she is revered, for she who is born pure is worthy of worship. || 9 ||
They call this Ganga, which descends from the sky, the home of the goddess Ganga, who floods the entire world with her flowing waters. || 10 ||
