संगमेषु प्रशस्ताश्च सर्वपापविनाशनाः ॥ अग्निपुच्छा अग्निमुखी अग्निलोमानलप्रभा ॥
saṃgameṣu praśastāś ca sarva-pāpa-vināśanāḥ || agni-pucchā agni-mukhī agni-lomānalaprabhā ||
नदियों के संगम पर इनकी बड़ाई होती है। यह सब पाप मिटा देती हैं। इनकी पूँछ में आग है, मुँह में आग है, बालों में आग है। यह आग जैसी चमकदेती हैं।
