The saying at the tilak

गंगा पूजे यमुना को, यमी पूजे यमराज को।

gaṁgā pūje yamunā ko, yamī pūje yamarāja ko.

As Ganga ji honours Yamuna ji, as Yami honours Yamraj,

सुभद्रा पूजे कृष्ण को,

subhadrā pūje kr̥ṣṇa ko,

as Subhadra honours Shri Krishna,

गंगा यमुना नीर बहे, मेरे भाई की आयु बढ़े॥

gaṁgā yamunā nīra bahe, mere bhāī kī āyu baṛhe.

so long as the waters of Ganga and Yamuna flow, may my brother's life grow long.
