Notes:
Having sprung from the dreadlocks of Shiva for fulfilling the request of Rishi Gautama, Godavari prays to Shiva for granting her a status in parity with other Rivers like Ganga and Narmada. Shiva grants that Godavari would be known as VriddhaGanga (Ganga being younger to her) and that while Ganga washes away sins, Godavari would be capable of bestowing Kaivalya. The combined waters of Ganga and Godavari, when offered to Shivalinga will be mokshakaraka.
He granted that Godavari water would be used for offering to Tryambekeshwara (Jyotir)Linga and bhakta-s will be benefitted by bathing in the waters of Godavari during Simhastha (time period when Guru/Brihaspati is in Simha Rasi).

The shloka numbers are maintained per the source text.
