Devanagari script
देवदानवगन्धर्वैर् यक्षराक्षसकिन्नरैः उपस्पृष्टजला पुण्या नदी मन्दाकिनी शुभा
Transliteration
devadānavagandharvair yakṣarākṣasakinnaraiḥ upaspṛṣṭajalā puṇyā nadī mandākinī śubhā
Translation
Auspicioso e santo é o rio Mandākinī: suas águas foram tocadas e santificadas por Devas, Dānavas, Gandharvas, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas e Kinnaras. Assim, torna-se purificador para o paśu (alma atada) que busca libertar-se do pāśa pela bhakti ao Pati, Śiva.
