(Click on the above link for the full poem)

Sample: O Gangā, the daughter and delight of Bhagīratha! Victory to you! Glory to you! You are the moonlight for the Cakora bird of the assembly of Munis (sages). Humans, snakes and gods laud you. O the daughter of Jahnu! Hail to You. You are borne from the lotus feet of Visnu, you are resplendent on the forehead of lord Śiva, you flow through the three paths (heaven, earth and the lower world, Pātāla), you are the treasure of holiness, and you wash away (all) sins.[1]

Ganga Stuti at Stutimandal

Sample: [Sage Jahnu speaks] O Mother! You are the foremost, You are Śakti (power), You are incomparable, You are the support of everyone, You are pure, You give happiness and liberation to the worlds, and Your lotus feet is revered by the whole universe. O Śivā, the one, Who is beyond everything, and Who is respected by the head of Śiva! You are not even known by the Veda, the destiny, the enemy of Smara (Śiva), and Hari; so what can I say about You?[1]
