O Rama, when Sagara passed away (having gone to the law of time (kāladharma)), the subjects (prakṛti) chose Aṃśumat, who was very righteous, as their king.

O scion of Raghu (Raghunandana), that King Aṃśumat was very great. His son was the great Dilīpa, renowned by that name.

O scion of Raghu (Raghunandana), having entrusted the kingdom to Dilīpa, he performed very severe asceticism (tapas) on a beautiful peak of the Himālaya.

The immensely glorious king, whose wealth was austerity (tapas), having retired to the forest hermitage (tapovana), attained heaven (svarga) after thirty-two thousand years.

But the greatly powerful Dilīpa, having heard of the slaughter of his paternal grandfathers, could not reach a decision, his intellect afflicted by sorrow.

kathaṃ ca etān tārayeyaṃ? iti cintā paraḥ abhavat

6.
"How will the descent of the Gaṅgā happen? How will the water rituals (jalakriyā) for them (my ancestors) be performed? How can I deliver these (ancestors)?" Thus, he became completely absorbed in this thought.

As he, whose true self (ātman) was understood through his adherence to natural law (dharma), constantly pondered these matters, a son named Bhagīratha was born, who was supremely righteous (dhārmika).
दिलीपस्तु महातेजा यज्ञैर्बहुभिरिष्टवान् ।

8.
King Dilipa, greatly energetic, performed many sacrificial rituals (yajña). The king ruled his kingdom for thirty thousand years.

9.
O tiger among men (naraśārdūla)! Without having reached a firm resolution regarding their deliverance, the king succumbed to the inevitability of death (kāladharma) due to illness.
इन्द्रलोकं गतो राजा स्वार्जितेनैव कर्मणा ।

10.
O best of men (nararṣabha)! The king, having first consecrated his son Bhagiratha to the throne, ascended to Indra's realm (indraloka) through the merit of his own accumulated actions (karma).
भगीरथस्तु राजर्षिर्धार्मिको रघुनन्दन ।

11.
O delight of Raghu (raghunandana)! Bhagiratha, that royal sage (rājarṣi), was righteous and greatly energetic. He was, however, without offspring (anapatya) and desirous of progeny (prajākāma), indeed, he was childless (apraja).

12.
O son of Raghu, he undertook a long and arduous penance (tapas) in Gokarna. He stood with his arms raised upwards, practicing the penance of the five fires, eating only once a month, and having fully controlled his senses.
तस्य वर्षसहस्राणि घोरे तपसि तिष्ठतः ।

13.
While he was engaged in severe penance (tapas) for thousands of years, the divine Lord Brahma, the master and sovereign of all beings, became greatly pleased.
ततः सुरगणैः सार्धमुपागम्य पितामहः ।
भगीरथं महात्मानं तप्यमानमथाब्रवीत् ॥१४॥

14.
Then, the grandfather (Brahma), accompanied by the hosts of gods, approached the great-souled Bhagiratha, who was still performing his penance (tapas), and spoke to him.
भगीरथ महाभाग प्रीतस्ते ऽहं जनेश्वर ।
तपसा च सुतप्तेन वरं वरय सुव्रत ॥१५॥

15.
O King Bhagiratha, O greatly fortunate one! I am pleased with you because of your intensely practiced penance (tapas). O virtuous one, ask for a boon!

16.
The immensely radiant and highly fortunate Bhagīratha, standing with folded hands, spoke to him, the grandfather of all beings (Brahmā).
यदि मे भगवान्प्रीतो यद्यस्ति तपसः फलम् ।
सगरस्यात्मजाः सर्वे मत्तः सलिलमाप्नुयुः ॥१७॥

17.
If you, my Lord, are pleased with me, and if there is any fruit of my austerity (tapas), then may all the sons of Sagara obtain water through me.
गङ्गायाः सलिलक्लिन्ने भस्मन्येषां महात्मनाम् ।

May all these great-souled great-grandfathers of mine ultimately reach heaven, their ashes being moistened by the water of the Gaṅgā.

And, O Lord, let progeny be granted, and may our lineage not decline. O Lord, let this be my supreme boon for the Ikṣvāku family.

20.
Then, the grandfather of all worlds (Brahmā) replied to the king, who had just spoken, with auspicious, sweet, and melodious words.
मनोरथो महानेष भगीरथ महारथ ।
एवं भवतु भद्रं ते इक्ष्वाकुकुलवर्धन ॥२१॥
एवं भवतु भद्रं ते इक्ष्वाकुकुलवर्धन ॥२१॥
21. manoratho mahāneṣa bhagīratha mahāratha ,

evam bhavatu bhadraṃ te ikṣvāku-kula-vardhana
21.
O bhagīratha mahā-ratha,
O ikṣvāku-kula-vardhana,
eṣa mahān manorathaḥ evam bhavatu,
te bhadraṃ (bhavatu)
O ikṣvāku-kula-vardhana,
eṣa mahān manorathaḥ evam bhavatu,

21.
This great desire of yours, O Bhagīratha, great warrior, shall be fulfilled. May prosperity be upon you, O enhancer of the Ikṣvāku lineage!

iyam haimavatī gaṅgā jyeṣṭhā himavataḥ sutā (asti).
Tām vai dhārayituṃ tatra haraḥ niyujyatām
22.
This Gaṅgā is Himavat's eldest daughter. O king, to hold her, indeed, let Hara (Śiva) be appointed for that purpose.

Vīra,
tāṃ vai dhārayituṃ śūlinaḥ anyaṃ na paśyāmi
23.
O king, the earth will not withstand the fall of Gaṅgā. O hero, to bear her, I see indeed no one else but Śiva, the wielder of the trident.
तमेवमुक्त्वा राजानं गङ्गां चाभाष्य लोककृत् ।

ābhāṣya sarvaiḥ marudgaṇaiḥ saha tridivam jagāma
24.
Having spoken thus to that king and also addressed Gaṅgā, the creator of the worlds, the deity (Brahmā), went to heaven along with all the hosts of Maruts.
