देवी Ganga, बहून् many, संवत्सरगणान् for a number of years, तत्रैव there alone, अबम्भ्रमत् went round and round, ताम् that Ganga, अपश्यन् without seeing, पुन: again, तत्र there, परमम् great, तप: austerities, आस्थित: adopted.

There the golden Ganga wandered about for many years. Bhagiratha not finding Ganga, once again resorted to great penance.
