nirmalābhiś ca muktābhir maṇibhiś ca mahāprabhaiḥ | udbhūtapulinās tatra jātarūpaiś ca nimnagāḥ ||
Dijo Vyāsa: Allí, en las riberas se alzaban nuevos bancos de arena, y en aquellas corrientes aparecían perlas puras, gemas de brillo extraordinario y oro. Es una imagen de la abundancia de la naturaleza, que subraya la creencia de que los lugares sagrados revelan tesoros auspiciosos y purificadores a quienes son dignos.
