English Meaning
And Atri related to Rāma matters connected with the female ascetic, engaged in offices of virtue, The people were ceaselessly burning in consequence of a drought extending over ten years. O sinless one, that one resembling your mother is this, by whom furnished with rigid asceticism and adorned with voluntary penances, were created fruits and roots and the Jāhnavi was made to flow through the asylum; by whom were performed mighty austerities for ten thousand years, in virtue of whose pen ances, disturbances to the asceticism of the sages ceased, by whom ten nights were brought within the compass of a single one.
