स्नापयित्वा महादेवं सर्वपातकनाशनम् । जगाम प्रभया पूर्णः स च लोकमनुत्तमम्
snāpayitvā mahādevaṃ sarvapātakanāśanam | jagāma prabhayā pūrṇaḥ sa ca lokamanuttamam
Nachdem er Mahādeva, den Vernichter aller schweren Sünden, gebadet hatte, ging er, von Glanz erfüllt, in die unvergleichliche Welt ein.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced for Āvantya Khaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Mahādeva (Revā-tīra Śiva)
Type: temple
Scene: Soma performs abhiṣeka to a Śiva-liṅga with Narmadā water; the liṅga shines, Soma regains brilliance, and an upward path to anuttama-loka opens.
Devotional service to Śiva, especially ritual bathing, is portrayed as a powerful purifier that elevates the devotee to a supreme state.
A Śiva sanctuary within the Revā Khaṇḍa setting is implied; the verse centers on Mahādeva as the locus of purification.
Snāpana/abhiṣeka—ritually bathing the deity (Mahādeva).
