mantreṇānena viprāya dadyātkarakamuttamam | lavaṇaṃ varjayecchuklāṃ yāvadanyāṃ tṛtīyikām
Mit diesem Mantra soll man einem Brāhmaṇa den vortrefflichen Karaka geben. Salz meide man während der hellen Monatshälfte bis zum nächsten dritten Mondtag (tṛtīyā).
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Revā-tīrtha (Revākhaṇḍa frame)
Type: ghat
Scene: A devotee respectfully offers a water pot to a seated brāhmaṇa; nearby, a simple meal without salt is shown, indicating restraint; a lunar calendar motif suggests śukla-pakṣa observance.
Dharma is upheld through both giving and self-restraint—charity to the worthy and disciplined conduct sustain spiritual merit.
The instruction belongs to the Revā Khaṇḍa’s Narmadā sacred framework; this verse centers on vrata discipline rather than a named tirtha.
Donate the karaka to a brāhmaṇa with the prescribed mantra, and observe a salt-avoidance vow through the bright fortnight until the next tṛtīyā.
