In plain words
You whose dark, luminous form rivals millions of rain-clouds touched with gold, whose bright yellow currents flicker like lightning at your edge, and whose jewel-bright waters outshine the sun—victory to you, Yamunā, dispeller of fear and destroyer of all distress. Purify me.
Close to the Sanskrit
Whose shining body equals ten million fresh rain-clouds adorned with golden ornaments, who wears fine yellow garments made restless and brilliant by the lightning-like hem of her steps, whose gem-studded ornaments and variegated cloth seats outshine the sun's rays—victory to Yamunā, victory to the dispeller of fear, destroyer of crises, purify me.
