Śrī Prahlāda (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Dvārakā (hosting Deccan river tīrthas)
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: Procession of Deccan river-devis arriving with regional flora (tamarind, sugarcane, black-soil fields), carrying kalashas; their waters flow as ribbons converging toward Dvārakā’s sea-facing city.
The Purāṇa frames India’s rivers as carriers of merit, unified in their sanctifying purpose within pilgrimage tradition.
Dvārakā, as the implied dhāma whose greatness draws these rivers/tīrthas into attendance.
None explicitly; it is a sacred-river/tīrtha catalogue.
