Yamuna nadee

कालिन्दि त्वमघान्वितानपि सतः कृत्वा पवित्रात्मनो

गन्तुं नैव कदाsपि मुञ्चसि तव भ्रातुर्निकेतं प्रति |

किन्तु क्षीरपयोधिवासनिरतान् प्रीत्या करोष्याश्रितान्

स्निग्धे भर्तरि कामिनीजनरुचिः तत्पक्ष एव ह्यलम् || १२ ||

kalindi! even if the people who take shelter in you are full of sins, you convert them into ones with pure hearts; you never allow them (the devotees) to go your brother’s house; on the other hand, out of affection, you ensure they always reside in shvetadweepa that is in the ksheerasagara; it is indeed well known that when the husband has attachment towards his wife, the interest of women always remains towards him!

Notes:

Yamuna river is also one of the saptamahanadis of bharatavarsha.

It originates in a mountain known as kalinda. Hence it is known as kaalindi, as referred to by sri vadiraja tirtha here.

harivamsha narrates that yamuna and yamaraja were born as twins to surya and sanjna devi.

The origin of yamuna river is known as yamunotri. It is about 100kms from Dehradun.
