（单词翻译）

 It was an auspicious1 time to arrive at the end of the river. For a period of several weeks, thousands of pilgrims were travelling to the point where river enters into the sea, known as Gangasagara. In a country whose population could ultimately surpass over China's as the largest in the world, ferries to the island are understandably crowded. -It's a bit of rush, a bit of push. An old lady is pressing in my bottom. I was pitched by an eldly lady.

Hundreds of millions of Indians accept the idea that the Ganges is holy. They worship it, and they travel to bathe in it.
-Why are you going to Gangasagara?
-I'm going to Gangasagara to meet god and to bathe in the water. -Are you on a pilgrimage then? You are on a pilgrimage going to the island to see the end of the River Ganges, the holy River Ganges?
-Yes, it's a pilgrimage, a pilgrimage to Gangasagara.
-What's special about the island?
-It's the soul, the god. Ganga is India's number one god. You can do pilgrimages to other sites many times, but you must come here once. OK?
