gaṅgā yamunā sarasvatīnām ।
saṅgamo'si nanu dattātreya! (Chorus)
O God Dattātreya! You are certainly the holy union of the three rivers called Gaṇgā, Yamunā and Sarasvatī.
jñānaṃ brahmā sarasvatīśaḥ,
sadguru bodha pravacanena ॥
You are God Brahmā, the knowledge-giver, the divine preacher and the Lord of Sarasvatī representing Sarasvatī River.
gaṅgā caraṇo bhaktir viṣṇuḥ
pratiphala rahitā prema rasena ॥
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.
ajñānyādima tamo'ṃśu yamunā -
vibhūti janakaḥ śaṅkarastvam ॥
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.
