			In this verse, Śukadeva Gosvāmī describes the glories of the Ganges River. The water of the Ganges is called ''patita-pāvanī'', the deliverer of all sinful living beings. It is a proven fact that a person who regularly bathes in the Ganges is purified both externally and internally.

Throughout India, many thousands of people live on the banks of the Ganges, and by regularly bathing in her waters, they are undoubtedly being purified both spiritually and materially.
