Blessed to post this from the banks of Ganga, in Varanasi.

jaya - Victory to you,
tungAtarangE - O one with high waves!
gangE - O Ganga!
kamlabhavANDa karaNDa pavitraE - O purifier of the huge vessel that is Brahmanda(the universe)
bahu vidha bandacchEdalavitrE - O one whose tiny droplets can cut down the many kinds of bondages

C1: dUri krtajana pApa samUhE - O one who decimates (lit. takes far away) the heaps of sins of people
pUrita kacchapa gucchagrAhE - O one with waters full of hordes of turtles and crocodiles

2: paramahamsa guru phaNita caritrE - O one whose nature is praised in verses by the Paramahamsa Guru
brahma viSNu shankara nutipAtrE - O recepient of the songs of praise of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva!

Rajani,
thank you so much!.Indeed Varanasi is the proper place to write about Ganga Ma.
I remembered the song from the old film "kabulivala" "ganga aye kahan se ganga jaye kaha re"
when I visited Varanasi.
