[45] tataś ca surabhir abhihitavatī-śrīmad-vrajendra-kula-candra! bhavad-bhavadīya-svīya-caraṇānām anucaraṇatas tāvad atratyāni tīrthāni sārthakāny eva jātāni | dhenavaś ca yuṣmad-vihita-dugdha-dhayanād dhanyatām adhuḥ | [46] tataś ca svarga-sthita-tīrtha-varasya gaṅgā-nirjharasya tathātmīyasyāpy ūdho-bharasya tvad-ārādhanayā vyarthatāvadhāya payaḥ samāhartuṃ bhavantaṃ vidhim arthayāmahe | athavā, yathādiśyate tathāvaśyaṃ prathayāmaḥ |

[45] And then Surabhi said: "O moon of the family of the glorious king of Vraja! By the walking of your own lotus feet and those of your companions, the sacred places here have truly achieved their purpose. And the cows have attained blessedness by your suckling of their milk. [46] Therefore, realizing the futility of our worship of you unless with the water of that best of holy places situated in heaven, the waterfall of the Gaṅgā, and with that from the weight of my own udder, we beg permission of you to collect water. Or rather, we shall certainly carry out whatever is commanded."
