Meaning

Mother Goddess Bhagirathi,

Who Is The Co Wife With Parvathi,

Who Is The Pretty Garland To The Earth,

Who Is The Climbing Plant To Ascend To Heaven,

I Have A Prayer To You,

I Should Live In Your Shores,

Drink Your Holy Water,

Bathe In Your Holy Waves,

Meditate On Your Holy Names,

And Die Seeing You Till The End.

 

It Would Be Great To Be Born As A Bird.

Living In Any Tree On Your Shores,

It Would Be Great To Be Born As,

Fish Or Tortoise Living In Your Waters,

Compared To Be Born As A King,

Praised By The Wives Of His Enemies,

Who Run Away With Fear Hearing The Loud Sound Of Bells,

Tied Round The Ferocious Crowd Of Elephants Of His Army.

 

Let Me, Who Is Tolerant To Sorrow From Birth And Death,

Be Born As A Bull, Bird, Horse Or Elephant In The Shores Of Ganga,

Than Being Born As A King Elsewhere Whose Servant Maids,

Will Fan Him With Hands Making Jingling Sounds Due To The Bangles.

 

Hey Parameshwari, Hey Ganga, When Will I See Myself.

Traveling In A Heavenly Aircraft, Fanned By Ladies From Heaven And See,

My Own Body Floating In The River Ganga, Which Is Pecked By Crows,

Being Eaten By Dogs, Being Dragged By Small Foxes,

Being Shaken By The Slow Tides, Being Moved By Water From The Shores,

And It Gets Overturned By The Tides Of Ganga?

 

Let The Goddess Who Attains Victory, As A Ring In The Lotus Like Feet Of Vishnu,

As The Flower Garland Which Is The Ornament Of Shiva’s Hair,

As The Flag Of Victory Of The Lakshmi Who Gives Salvation,

And As Goddess Ganga, Remove The Dirt Of Kali Yuga And Save Me.

 

Let Me Be Able To Take Bath In The Clear Waters Of Ganga,

Which Is Given Shade By The Creeping Plants

Spread Over Palms, Green Trees And Sarala Tree,

Which Is As White As The Conch, Moon And Jasmine Flowers

And Which Is Shaken By The Bottom Of The Busts Of,

Maidens Belonging To Gandharwa, Deva, Siddha And Kinnara Clans.

 

Let Me Be Saved By The Holy River Ganga,

Which Is Pretty And Starts From The Feet Of Vishnu,

Which Travels Through The Head Of Lord Shiva,

And Is An Antidote For All The Committed Sins.

 

Let Me Be Protected Again By The Holy Waters Of Ganga

Which Is The Killer Of All Sins,

Which Removes All Bad Deeds,

Which Is Full Of Tides,

Which Flows From A Mountain,

Which Emanates From The Caves Of Himalayas,

Which Flows With The Torrential Sound Of Jja,

And Which Carries With It The Dust Of Vishnu’s Feet.

 

He Who Reads With Devotion This Octet.

On Ganga Written By Sage Valmiki,

Daily In The Morning Without Fail,

Would Get Rid Of The Dirt And Sins Of Kali,

And Will Never Fall In The Ocean Of Life.

I Am Ignorant, Who Is Not Capable Of Knowing Your Importance. O The Merciful One, Despite Of This Please Protect Me.

 

The One, Whose Waves Touch The Feet Of Lord Hari, Whose Waves Resemble That Of White Snow, Moon, And Pearl.

Please Lift My Burden Caused Due To Evil Deeds And With Your Mercy Please Help Me Cross The Ocean Of The Samsara

 

Those Who Take Your Holy Water, Will Indeed Attain The Supreme Adobe.

O Goddess Ganga, Even The Yama’s Power Of Glance Will Not Affect That Devotee.

 

O The One Who Uplifts Her Devotees To The Path Of Righteousness, Daughter Of Sage Jahnu, Goddess Ganga, Who Meander Through The Mountains And Circles Them

The Mother Of Bhishma, The Boon From The Sage (Durvasa), One Who Removes Sins From The People Who Have Fallen Out Of Their Path, The One Revered In The Three Worlds.

 

Who Rewards The Worlds Like A Kalpalatha (Wish Fulfilling Creeper), Who Bow To You With True Devotion Will Never Fall Into Grief

The One Who Flows Great, The Beautiful Smiling Women Who Remain Restless And Flowing With Side Glances Like A Young Maiden

 

Those Who Praise And Bathe In Your Holy Waters Do Not Have To Take Birth Again

The One Who Eliminates The Misery Of Hell, Daughter Of Muni Jahnu, Goddess Gange, You Are The Destroyer Of Sins And The Best Among The Glorious Ones.

 

The One Who Makes The Impure Ones Pure Again By Your Holy Waves, Victory To You O Jahnavi, The Compassionate One

The Ones Whose Feet Are Lustering With The Reflections Of The Gems Present On Indras Crown, The Bestower Of Joy And Auspiciousness To The One Who Seeks Refuge.

 

Please Remove My Illness, Sorrows, Afflictions, And Sins. O Devi Bhagavathi, Also Please Remove My Wrong Thoughts From My Mind

The One Who Is The Essence Of The Three Worlds, Who Is Like A Jewel To The Earth, Who Is Indeed My Refuge In The Worldly Existence (Samsara)

 

O The Alakananda, The Embodied Form Of Great Joy, I Bow To You, Be Pleased On Me The Merciful One

Those Who Live Near The Adobe Of You (On The Banks Of River Ganga) It Is Equivalent To Living In Vaikuntha.

 

It Is Better To Live As A Turtle Or As A Fish In Your Waters, Or Even As A Withered Lizard Living On Your Riverbank

Or Even To Be A Low Living, Unclean Person Living Near To You On Your Banks, But Let Me Not Live Far Away From You, Even As A King

 

O The Goddess Of The World (Bhuvaneshwari), Virtuous And Blissful, The Goddess Who Is In The Form Of Water, The Boon Of Sages. (I Bow To You)

The One Who Recites This Gangastavam Will Understand The Truth Of Salvation And Will Become The Truth.

 

One Who Fills His Heart With The Devotion To Goddess Ganga Will Be Bestowed Always With The Joy Of Salvation

This Sweet And Enchanting Stotram In Pajjhatika Sabdha (Meter Of Music) Is An Embodiment Of Great Joy
