(The inhabitants of Krauncadvipa worship with this mantra.) O water of the rivers, you have obtained energy from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore you purify the three planeary systems, known as Bhuloka, Bhuvarloka and Svarloka. By your constitutional nature, you take away sins, and that is why we are touching you. Kindly continue to purify us.
