tatra tīre sarasvatyāḥ puṇye sarvaguṇānvite |
niṣedurdevagandharvāḥ sarve saṃpūrṇamānasāḥ || 52 ||
The spot they selected was the bank of the sacred and divine Sarasvati, that foremost of rivers, taking her rise from Himavat, that Sarasvati which, at Samanta-panchaka, is celebrated over the three worlds. There, on the sacred bank, possessing every merit, of the Sarasvati, the gods and the Gandharvas took their seats with hearts well-pleased in consequence of the gratification of all their desires."
