Narrator (Purāṇic narrator in Revākhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā)
Type: river
Scene: The scene shifts like a dream ending: the Devī’s luminous form fades; she steps backward and dissolves into the river, becoming one with the water as sages reach out in astonished silence.
FAQs
The Divine can reveal itself through dream-vision and then withdraw, reminding devotees that sacred presence pervades even when unseen.
Revā/Narmadā is presented as a living Devī whose essence is the sacred river itself.
None directly; the verse supports faith in darśana (vision) and reverence toward the river as Devī.
