My intense longing, supplication and humility represent the not inconsiderable
lightness of this pure and holy water. This marvellous water heals by the mere hearing,
quenches the thirst of desire and washes the dirt of the mind. This water nourishes true
love for ›r∂ Råma and drives away all the sins of the Kali age as well as the feeling of
self-depreciation resulting therefrom. It relieves the fatigue of transmigration, gratifies
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. 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 this 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 deer runs after a mirage mistaking it for
real water and returns disappointed. (1ó4)

Having enumerated the virtues of this excellent water to the best of his intellectual
capacity and bathed his mind in it, and remembering Goddess Bhavån∂ (Pårvat∂) and
Lord ›a∆kara, the poet (Tulas∂dåsa) narrates the beautiful story. Installing in my heart
