Translation
Lomaśa said: “The Moon along with the Sun—and the other luminaries together with the planets—follow this sacred river in due order, marking the divisions of day and night.” The statement elevates the river’s sanctity by portraying even the cosmic regulators of time as accompanying its course, implying that reverence for such tīrthas aligns human conduct with the rhythm of dharma.
