yathā tathāhaṃ vakṣyāmi tīrthānāṃ stabakāniha | śivāmbupānajā puṇyā revā kalpalatā kila
وعلى ذلك سأصف هنا عناقيدَ التيرثات. فإنّ ريفا ذاتَ الفضل تُوصَف حقًّا بأنها كرمةٌ مُحقِّقةٌ للأماني، وُلدت من شُربِ مياهِ شيفا.
Sūta
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) as Kalpalatā
Type: kshetra
Listener: ṛṣis
Scene: Narrator promises to describe tīrtha-clusters; Revā is envisioned as a kalpalatā born from Śiva’s waters—mythic, luminous river-personification.
Revā’s sanctity is Śaiva in essence; her tīrthas are portrayed as wish-fulfilling through dharmic engagement.
Revā (Narmadā) herself as the supreme sacred ‘site,’ along with her tīrtha clusters.
None directly; it introduces the forthcoming categorized description of tīrthas.
