સલોકસંગતિમપવર્ગદાયિનીમ્, પતિવ્રતાનાં સદૈવ ભક્તિદાયિનીમ્ । વિદગ્ધમાનવલીલારતાં સદૈવ, શ્રીવત્સવિહારિણીવિલાસદાયિનીમ્ ॥ ૩ ॥

(Meaning: I bow again and again to Yamuna, born from the Kalinda mountain, perfumed with mandara flowers, gracefully smiling, compassionate, full of existence-consciousness-bliss, and bestower of happiness.)

મહાવેગવતી મહાપાપહારિણી, મહાભયનાશિની મહાસુખદાયિની । મહાદુઃખવિનાશિની મહામંગલા, શ્રીવત્સવિહારિણીવિલાસદાયિનીમ્ ॥ ૬ ॥

The Yamunashtak is traditionally sung in a slow, melodious raga (often Raga Desh or similar), evoking the gentle flow of the river. In Gujarati households, it is common to recite it in the morning while facing east or during Yamuna pujan on special occasions like Yamuna Jayanti.
