Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The branch of the Gaṅgā known as Cakṣu, falling from the summit of Mālyavān Mountain, cascades into Ketumāla-varṣa with uninterrupted force and enters the ocean of salt water in the west. In this description it should be understood that the water first falls on the Kesarācala peaks and then onto Mālyavān.
