अथासाद्य तु कालिन्दीं शीघ्रस्रोतसमापगाम्।
तस्यास्तीर्थं प्रचरितं पुराणं प्रेक्ष्य राघवौ।
तत्र यूयं प्लवं कृत्वा तरतांशुमतीं नदीम्॥

atha āsādya tu = having reached; kālindīm = Kālindī; śīghra-srotasam = of swift flow; āpagām = the river; tasyāḥ = its; tīrtham = bank; pracaritam = well-trodden; purāṇam = and ancient; prekṣya = will be able to see; rāghavau = the two descendants of Raghu; tatra = there; yūyam plavam kṛtvā = make a raft; tarata = and cross; āṁśumatīm = Yamunā; nadīm = the river.
Having reached the river Kālindī of swift flow, the two descendants of Raghu will be able to see its well-trodden and ancient bank. Make a raft there and cross the river Yamunā.
Sage Bharadvāja’s description of the river as swift in flow refers to the portion where her waters are not stopped by the obstruction caused by the force of Gaṅgā’s waters. Āṁśumatīm indicates that Yamunā is the daughter of Sūrya.
