Long ago, on the bank of the Bhāgīrathī, there was a twice-born man, supreme knower of dharma, / named Dānaruci, who lived by gleaning ears of grain.
His mind was disciplined through all sciences, he granted safety to all beings, / and together with his wife he was devoted to me, intent upon offerings in the fire.
