गङ्गानयनम् (Gaṅgānayana) — “The Bringing/Leading of the Gaṅgā”
न जातु शस्त्रग्रहणं करिष्यामीत्यहं पुरा / प्रतिश्रुत्य सतां मध्ये तपः कर्त्तुमिहानघाः
na jātu śastragrahaṇaṃ kariṣyāmītyahaṃ purā / pratiśrutya satāṃ madhye tapaḥ karttumihānaghāḥ
O blameless ones, long ago, in the midst of the righteous, I vowed: ‘Never shall I take up weapons’; here I am to perform austerity.
