Narrator (contextual; listing ṛṣi-lines and associated gotra-deities)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇyaka (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A lineage-tree motif: five ṛṣi-names as branches (Bhārgava to Jamadagni) with three feminine guardian figures labeled Vāc, Arddhaśeṣā, Abuṭalā, standing as protective śaktis beside the tree.
Lineage is not merely social: it is sacralized through ṛṣis and protective deities, linking family identity to dharma.
The verse contributes to Dharmāraṇya’s mahatmya by preserving its sacred lineages; it does not specify a distinct bathing-place or shrine.
No explicit rite is stated; the verse functions as a traditional register of ṛṣi-lines and gotra-deities.
