तटिनि तटद्रुमपातनपातकमेकं चिरस्थायी

यास्यति जलधर समयस्तव च समृद्धिर्लघीयसी भविता।

तटिनि तटद्रुमपातनपातकमेकं चिरस्थायी॥

yāsyati jaladhara samayastava ca samṛddhirlaghīyasī bhavitā|

taṭini taṭadrumapātanapātakamekaṁ cirasthāyī||

River, you are overflowing with water now, and you have uprooted many trees in your banks. Remember, in time your waters would recede and you would become slim and powerless. But the sin of destroying the trees would remain with you for ever..
