yatra-where; asrama-padani-all hermitages; ubhayataḥ-both on top and below; nabhibhiḥ-like the symbolic mark of a navel; drsat-visible; cakraiḥ-with the circles; cakra-nadi-the Cakra-nadi River (generally known as the Ganḍaki); nama-of the name; sarit-pravara-the most important river of all; sarvataḥ-everywhere; pavitri-karoti-sanctifies.

TRANSLATION

In Pulaha-asrama is the Ganḍaki River, which is the best of all rivers. The salagrama-sila, the marble pebbles, purify all those places. On each and every marble pebble, up and down, circles like navels are visible.

PURPORT

Salagrama-sila refers to pebbles that appear like stones with circles marked up and down. These are available in the river known as Ganḍaki-nadi. Wherever the waters of this river flow, the place becomes immediately sanctified.
