॥ गङ्गा यमुना सरस्वतीनाम् ॥

गङ्गा यमुना सरस्वतीनाम् ।
सङ्गमोऽसि ननु दत्तात्रेय! (पल्लवी)

O God Dattātreya! You are certainly the holy union of the three rivers called Gaṇgā, Yamunā and Sarasvatī.

ज्ञानं ब्रह्मा सरस्वतीशः,
सद्गुरु बोध प्रवचनेन ॥

You are God Brahmā, the knowledge-giver, the divine preacher and the Lord of Sarasvatī representing Sarasvatī River.

गङ्गा चरणो भक्तिर् विष्णुः
प्रतिफल रहिता प्रेम रसेन ॥

You are God Viṣṇu, the source of Gaṇgā River flowing from Your foot, the basis for devotion or the juice of true love, which is lacking aspiration for any fruit in return.

अज्ञान्यादिम तमोंऽशु यमुना -
विभूति जनकः शङ्करस्त्वम् ॥

You are God Śiva, the source of miracles satisfying the ignorant people in the beginning and standing for the blue Yamunā River representing the quality of black Tamas.
