Pallavi

Bageerathi bava dveshini
Bageeratha nandini
Sankara jata pravahini
Sankata harani (ganga ma) (Bhageerathi)

Pallavi
Oh goddess who was brought by Bhageeratha,
And hates the cycle of birth and death
And who is the daughter of Bhageeratha,
Who flows from the matted hair of Lord Shiva,
Who is the mother Ganges, who removes sorrow.

Anupallavi

Vishnu charana brahma karana sivajatase ayi mayi
Garaja garaja ayi darathi
Darathi sakala pavana karu (ganga ma) (Bhageerathi)

Anupallavi

Oh mother who originated due to Brahma,
From the feet of Lord Vishnu
And was made glittering by Lord Shiva,
Roar and roar and make us fear,
Make us afraid and make us pure (Oh mother ganges)

Charanam

Punya boomi kasi kshethrame viswanatha charana doya
Danya danya santhana jana
Ganga snana papa harana
Danya krishnadasa charana
Sakala papa baya harani (ganga ma) (Bhageerathi)

Charanam

In the holy city Kasi you washed the feet of God Viswanatha,
Blessed and blessed indeed are the sages and people,
For bath in Ganga removes all their sin,
Blessed indeed is the feet of Krishnadasa,
For mother Ganges removes all his sins and fears.
