Month of Magha

 Jai Sri Ram,

In this way they bathe for the whole month of Magha,

And then return each to his hermitage,

There is great rejoicing every year and having performed their ablutions while the sun stays in Capricorn the hosts of sages disperse,

 Having bathed on one occasion for the whole period of sun's stay in Capricorn when all the great sages had left for their hermitages, Bhardwaj clasped by the feet and detained the supremely wise saint Yajnavalakya,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please  

nature of Brahma

 Jai sri Ram,

At daybreak they all perform their ablutions with religious fervor,

And then converse together on the virtues of Sri Hari, 

They discuss the nature of Brahma, the precept of religion and the classification of fundamental entities,

And expatiate on devotion to the lord coupled with spiritual enlightenment and dispassion,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

God Vindumadhava

 Jai Sri Ram,

They worship the lotus feet of God Vindumadhava,

The Presiding deity of the Prayaga,

And touch of immortal banyan tree sends a thrill into their limbs,

The hermitage of Bharadwaja is most sacred spot, exceedingly charming and attractive even to great hermits and the haunt of sages and seers who go to bathe at that holiest of holy places,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Prayaga

 Jai Sri Ram,

In the Month of Magha,

When the sun enters the sign of Capricorn,

Everyone visits the chief of holy places. Prayaga,

Troops of gods and demons, Kinnaras and men, all devoutly bathe in the triple stream of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please  

sage Bhardwaj

 Jai sri Ram,

The sage Bhardwaj lives in Prayaga,

He is extremely devoted to the feet of Sri Rama,

A great ascetic and an embodiment of self restraint, composure of mind and compassion,

He is highly advanced on the spiritual path,

May lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Yajnavalkya and Bhardwaja,

 Jai Sri Ram,

Installing in my heart the lotus feet of Lord of Raghus,

And thus securing his grace,

I now proceed to relate the charming story of meeting tow great Sages,

Yajnavalkya and Bhardwaja,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Beautiful Story

 Jai sri Ram,

By reverently bathing in it and drinking from in all traces of sin and remorse are obliterated from the heart,

Those who have not washed their heart with this water are wrenches that have been duped by the age of Kali,

These creatures, wandering in pursuit of sensuous pleasures, will come to grief even as a thirsty deer runs after a mirage mistaking it for real water and returns disappointed,

Having enumerated the virtues of this excellent to the best of his intellectual capacity and bathed his mind in it, and remembering goddess Bhavani and Lord Shankara, the poet narrates the beautiful Story,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

pure wisdom and dispassion

 Jai Sri Ram,

It relieves the fatigue of transmigration, 

Gratifies gratification itself,

And put an end to sin, sorrow, indigence and error,

It wipes out lust, anger, pride and infatuation and enhances pure wisdom and dispassion, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Nourishes true love

 Jai Sri Ram,

My intense longing, supplication and humility represent the not inconsiderable lightness of this pure and holy water,

This marvelous water heals by the mere hearing,  quenches the thirst of desire and washes the dirt of the mind,

This water nourishes true love for Sri Rama,

And drives away all the sins of the Kali age as well as the feeling of self depreciation resulting therefrom,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please
