a religious ceremony,

 Jai Sri Ganesha,

He Reverently washed the latter's lotus feet,

And installed him on the most sacred seat,

And extolling his fair renown with a religious ceremony,

Bharadwaj spoke in mild and reverential tones, A grave doubt haunts my my mind, Holy Sir, and the whole mystery of the Vedas stands revealed to you, I am afraid and ashamed to utter the doubt and lose the great opportunity if I keep it back,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

That supreme eternal,

 Jai Sri Ram,

They discuss the nature of Brahma,

That supreme eternal,

The percepts of religion and the classification of fundamental entities and expatiate on devotion to the Lord coupled with spiritual enlightenment and dispassion,

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 then all the great sages had left for their hermitages, Bharadwaj clasped the feet and detained the supremely wise saint Yajnavalakya,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Yajnavalakya and Bharadwaj

 Jai Sri Ram,

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

Those who have not washed their heart with water are wretches 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 dear runs after a mirage mistaking it for real water, and returns disappointed, 

Having enumerated the virtues of this water to the best of his intellectual capacity and bathed his mind in it and remembering goddess Bhavani and Lord Sankara, the poet narrates the beautiful story, installing in my heart the lotus feet of the lord of Raghus and thus securing His grace, I proceed to relate the charming story of the meeting of the two great sages that Yajnavalakya and Bhardwaj,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

This water nourishes true love

 Jai Sri Ram, 

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 the sins of the Kali age as well as the feeling o self-depreciation resulting therefrom, 

It relieves the fatigue of transmigration, gratifies self-gratification itself, and puts 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 

Sri Ekadasi today

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Ekadasi today, a conscious occasion for spirit to enjoin the truth of self to update the truth of eternity it belongs to,

An enlightening day to rise above the limitation of body and thoughts, to make it for the cause of eternity spirit belongs to,

Vishnu Pad Puja is the prime subject that may lead the spirit to self unto the truth of fair realization,

 Cult of the day pivoted unto the truth of self-restraint, be silent in the truth of eternity, be a pause for a while to make it for self rather than the practice of mimic shows to earn name and fame in the list of devotees,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

pure and holy water,

 Jai Sri Ram, 

The way the four brothers look at one another meet and love one another,

Their mirth and their ideal brotherliness,

These constitute the sweetness and fragrance of the water,

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

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please 

The river of Sri Rama's glory

 Jai Sri Ram,

The river of Sri Rama's glory is delightful during all six seasons, 

It is exceedingly charming and holy at all times,

The wedding of Goddess Parvati, the daughter of Himalaya, with Lord Shiva represents Hemanta or the cold season while the festival connected with the Lord's advent represents the delightful Shishir or chilly season,

The story of preparations for Rama's wedding constitutes the vernal season, the king if all seasons, which abounds in joy and felicity,

while Sri Rama's departure for the forest constitutes the oppressively hot weather and the tale of his wanderings represents the blazing sun and hot winds, the terrible conflicts with the demons represent the rainy season, which constituted a veritable blessing to the paddy crop in the form of Gods, while the prosperity attending Sri Rama's reign, his politeness and glory represent the cloudless, delightful and charming autumn, the recital of the virtues of Sita, the crest jewel of the faithful wives, constitutes the excellence of the transparent and incomparable water, and Bharat's amiability represents its coolness, which is uniform at all times and beyond description, 

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks, please
