tasmātsarvaprayatnena gandhapuṣpavibhūṣaṇaiḥ | pūjitaṃ parayā bhaktyā śāstrametatphalapradam
Darum soll man mit allem Eifer – mit Düften, Blumen und Schmuck – diese Schrift in höchster Hingabe verehren, denn sie verleiht ihre Früchte.
Deductive (Revākhaṇḍa narrative voice; traditionally Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa conveying the Māhātmya)
Tirtha: Narmadā (Revā) māhātmya (as scripture)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A decorated manuscript wrapped in cloth is placed on a pedestal; devotees offer sandal paste, jasmine garlands, and ornaments; lamps glow; the atmosphere suggests that the scripture itself radiates blessings.
Devotional reverence to sacred text is a dharmic act that yields tangible spiritual fruit (phala).
Narmadā’s Māhātmya (and by extension Narmadā tīrtha) is the focus of worship.
Perform pūjā of the scripture using gandha (fragrance), puṣpa (flowers), and adornments, with parā-bhakti.
