After spending the rest of the night with the great sages (maharṣibhiḥ) on the bank of the Śoṇā River, when the night had yielded to a beautiful dawn, Viśvāmitra addressed them.
सुप्रभाता निशा राम पूर्वा संध्या प्रवर्तते ।

O Rāma, the night has ended, and the early dawn (sandhyā) is setting in. Arise, arise! May good fortune be upon you; prepare yourself for the journey.

Having heard his words and performed the morning rituals, he then approved of the journey and spoke the following words.
अयं शोणः शुभजलो गाधः पुलिनमण्डितः ।
कतरेण पथा ब्रह्मन् संतरिष्यामहे वयम् ॥४॥

This river Śoṇa has clear and pure waters, is shallow, and is adorned with sandbanks. O venerable one (brahman), by which path shall we cross?
एवमुक्तस्तु रामेण विश्वामित्रो ऽब्रवीदिदम् ।
एष पन्था मयोद्दिष्टो येन यान्ति महर्षयः ॥५॥
एष पन्था मयोद्दिष्टो येन यान्ति महर्षयः ॥५॥

5.
Thus spoken to by Rāma, Viśvāmitra then said this: 'This is the path I have indicated, by which the great sages (maharṣi) always travel.'
ते गत्वा दूरमध्वानं गते ऽर्धदिवसे तदा ।
जाह्नवीं सरितां श्रेष्ठां ददृशुर्मुनिसेविताम् ॥६॥

After traveling a long distance, when half the day had passed, they then saw the Gaṅgā (Jāhnavī), the foremost of rivers, frequented by sages.

Seeing that sacred-watered river (Jāhnavī), frequented by swans and cranes, all the sages, along with the Raghus, became delighted. Then, on her bank, they established their dwelling.
ततः स्नात्वा यथान्यायं संतर्प्य पितृदेवताः ।

8.
Then, having bathed according to the proper procedure, having satisfied the ancestors and deities with offerings, and having performed the fire sacrifices (agnihotra), they then partook of the sacrificial food (haviḥ) as if it were nectar.
विविशुर्जाह्नवीतीरे शुचौ मुदितमानसाः ।

With delighted minds, they entered the pure bank of the Gaṅgā (Jāhnavī), having surrounded the great-souled Viśvāmitra on all sides.
संप्रहृष्टमना रामो विश्वामित्रमथाब्रवीत् ।

10.
With a greatly delighted mind, Rāma then said to Viśvāmitra: 'O venerable one, I wish to hear about the river Gaṅgā, the one who flows through three paths. How did she, after encompassing the three worlds, reach the lord of rivers (the ocean)?'
चोदितो राम वाक्येन विश्वामित्रो महामुनिः ।
वृद्धिं जन्म च गङ्गाया वक्तुमेवोपचक्रमे ॥११॥
वृद्धिं जन्म च गङ्गाया वक्तुमेवोपचक्रमे ॥११॥

gaṅgāyāḥ vr̥ddhim janma eva vaktum upacakrame
gaṅgāyāḥ vr̥ddhim janma eva vaktum upacakrame
11.
Prompted by Rāma's question, the great sage Viśvāmitra then began to narrate the growth and birth of Gaṅgā.
शैलेन्द्रो हिमवान्नाम धातूनामाकरो महान् ।
तस्य कन्या द्वयं राम रूपेणाप्रतिमं भुवि ॥१२॥
तस्य कन्या द्वयं राम रूपेणाप्रतिमं भुवि ॥१२॥

12.
There is a great king of mountains named Himavān, who is a vast repository of minerals. O Rāma, he has two daughters whose beauty is unparalleled on earth.
या मेरुदुहिता राम तयोर्माता सुमध्यमा ।
नाम्ना मेना मनोज्ञा वै पत्नी हिमवतः प्रिया ॥१३॥

rāma,

yā meruduhitā tayoḥ sumadhyamā mātā [sā] nāmnā menā,

13.
O Rāma, their mother, the slender-waisted one, is the daughter of Meru. Her name is Menā, delightful, and she is the beloved wife of Himavān.
तस्यां गङ्गेयमभवज्ज्येष्ठा हिमवतः सुता ।

14.
From her (Menakā), Gaṅgā was born, the eldest daughter of Himavat. A second daughter, named Umā, was also born from him, O Rāghava.
अथ ज्येष्ठां सुराः सर्वे देवतार्थचिकीर्षया ।

15.
Then all the gods, desiring to accomplish the divine purpose, sought (in marriage) from the lord of mountains (Himavat) Gaṅgā, the three-pathed river.
ददौ धर्मेण हिमवांस्तनयां लोकपावनीम् ।

Himavat, in accordance with the intrinsic nature (dharma) of things, gave his daughter, Gaṅgā, the purifier of worlds and one who flows as she pleases, out of a desire for the welfare of the three worlds.
प्रतिगृह्य त्रिलोकार्थं त्रिलोकहितकारिणः ।

17.
Having accepted Gaṅgā for the purpose of the three worlds, those benefactors of the three worlds (the gods), taking Gaṅgā, departed with their inner self (antarātman) satisfied.
या चान्या शैलदुहिता कन्यासीद् रघुनन्दन ।

And that other daughter of the mountain, a maiden, O Rama, she, adopting a severe vow, performed intense penance (tapas), an ascetic whose wealth was austerity.

The best of mountains (Himavan) gave his daughter Uma, who was endowed with intense penance (tapas) and revered by the worlds, to Rudra, the unrivaled one.
एते ते शैल राजस्य सुते लोकनमस्कृते ।

O Rama, these two revered by the worlds are the two daughters of the mountain king: Ganga, the foremost of rivers, and Devi Uma.
एतत्ते धर्ममाख्यातं यथा त्रिपथगा नदी ।

This natural law (dharma) has been explained to you, dear one, how the three-pathed river (Ganga) first went to the sky, O best among those who move.
