bhāgīrathī – another name of Gaṅgā. Bhagīratha – son of Dilipa (son of Aṃśumān), who performed very severe austerities to bring the Ganges to this material world.
snāna – bath for purity
Note: Tara Chandra: māne ca rāhau -> mīne ca rāhau (‘Rāhu is in Pisces’), but we are inclined to trust Girdhari Lal's version, since Rāhu in Pisces cannot be exalted in Navāṁśa.
sannyāsa – giving up of karmas by; renunciation

Yogas of good karma
Sharma / Santhanam / Tara Chandra (śl.247) / Girdhari Lal (śl.249 ½) / G. D. Pathaka (śl.219):

Note: Girdhari Lal mīne -> māne (the name of the 10th house, so Jupiter and Venus should conjoin not in Pisces, but in the 10th house)
Note: Samyagjñāna refers to ‘right knowledge’, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra. Right-knowledge (samyagjñāna) is considered five-fold: mati-jñāna (judgement), śruta-jñāna (understanding scripture), avadhi-jñāna (perceiving ever what is not within the reach of the senses), manaḥparyāya-jñāna (power to read other persons’ thoughts), kevala-jñāna (omniscience; Śiva is the embodiment of the Kevalajñāna).
This term is also met in Buddhism, Shaktism etc.
