TRANSLATION
My dear Vidura, of the two sons, Kasyapa and Pirnima, Pirnima begot
three children, namely Viraja, Visvaga and Devakulya. Of these three,
Devakulya was the water which washed the lotus feet of the Personality
of Godhead and later on transformed into the Ganges of the heavenly
planets.
PURPORT
Of the two sons Kagyapa and Pirnima, herein Pirnima’s descendants
are described. An elaborate description of these descendants will be given
in the Sixth Canto. It is also understood herein that Devakulya is the
presiding deity of the River Ganges, which comes down from the heavenly
planets to this planet and is accepted to be sanctified because it touched
the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari.
