A love that remains as constant
As the stars in the heaven above
A gift no money on earth can buy,
The gift of a mother's love.

The Gangashtakam expresses this longing fervently:
O Mother! ... Necklace adorning the worlds!
Banner rising to heaven!
I ask that I may leave of this body on your banks,
Drinking your water, rolling in your waves,
Remembering your name, bestowing my gaze upon you.
