इयं वापि सरिच्छेष्टा नर्मदा शर्मवर्धिनी। नक्रमीनविहंगोर्मिः सभयेवाङ्गना स्थिता॥
iyaṃ vāpi sariccheṣṭā narmadā śarmavardhinī| nakramīnavihaṃgormiḥ sabhayevāṅganā sthitā||
English Meaning
This charming Narmadā, abounding in crocodiles, fishes and birds, though a natural stream, is standing still like a terrified damsel.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
