Text 7

divyam kau namadheyam crutam atha yamune dandayaty adri-tulyam
papa-vyuham tv akhandam vasatu mama giram mandale tu ksanam tat
dandyamc cakarya-dandyan sakrd api vacasa khanditam yad grhitam
bhratur martanda-sunor atati puri drdhas te pracandeti dandah[1]

O Yamuna, when it is heard on this earth, your holy name desrtoys a great mountain of sin. When your name is spoken it again destroys a great host of sins. May your holy name stay in the circle of my words. In the city of your brother, Yamaraja, who is the son of the sun-god, you are known by the name Pracanda.
