भिद्यादुद्यदुदारदर्दुरदरीदीर्घादरिद्रद्रुम-
द्रोहोद्रेकमहोर्मिमेदुरमदा मन्दाकिनी मन्दताम् ॥ ४ ॥

drohodrekamahormimeduramada mandākinī mandatām ॥
“ May Gaṅgā, the divine, all your doubts and errors
remove !—Gaṅgā, on whose sacred banks the happy
Ṛṣis perform their daily rites who have their delusions
washed away by the lovely sparkling of water dashing
against the rocky bank-holes full of big frogs, whose
pride is enhanced by the high waves rising on account
of the wide-spreading trees having fallen in.”
And again :—vinirgataṁ mānadamātmamandirād
bhavatyupaśrutya yadṛchhayāpi yam ।
sasambhramendradrutapātitārgalā
nimīlitākṣīva bhiyāmarāvatī ॥
(Full of fear as soon as Amarāvatī hears that he
has moved beyond his palace-gates—the pride of all
the Demon race—though it may be put for a pleasure
stroll, her gates are barred up in all haste and hurry by
agitated Indra and she wears the aspect of a maiden with
closed eyes.) 5.
Thus ends Chapter I, in which are determined the
aim, source and nature of Poetry.
