হে নাথ! তোমাৰ প্ৰতিটো ৰোমেই দেৱসঙ্ঘ; তোমাৰ পদৰ ৰেখাসমূহ বিদ্যাধৰ। হে দেৱ! বেদসমূহ সাঙ্গোপাঙ্গে সম্পূৰ্ণৰূপে তোমাতেই স্থিত—তোমাৰ সন্ধিসমূহত বিশ্ৰাম লৈ, যেন মহাবাহু হৈ সকলোকে ধৰি ৰাখে।

Tirtha: Revā tīrtha (Revākhaṇḍa)

FAQs
Scripture and the divine hosts are not separate from God; the Vedas themselves rest in Him, establishing His body as the ultimate ground of dharma.
The Revā (Narmadā) context frames the hymn, but this verse primarily glorifies the Lord’s all-containing form rather than a named tīrtha.
No direct prescription; it asserts Vedic authority as inherent in the Lord.
