सोमसंस्थापितान्यष्टौ तावन्तो नर्मदेश्वराः । कोटितीर्थान्यथाष्टौ च सप्त सिद्धेश्वरास्तथा
somasaṃsthāpitānyaṣṭau tāvanto narmadeśvarāḥ | koṭitīrthānyathāṣṭau ca sapta siddheśvarāstathā
Huit furent établis par Soma, et de même il y a huit Narmadeśvara. Ensuite viennent huit Koṭi-tīrtha, et aussi sept Siddheśvara.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced: Āvantya Khaṇḍa narration style)
Tirtha: Soma-saṃsthāpita tīrthas (8), Narmadeśvara (8), Koṭi-tīrtha (8), Siddheśvara (7)
Type: kshetra
Listener: assembled sages (implicit continuation)
Scene: A moonlit riverscape: Soma consecrating a Śiva-liṅga on the Revā bank; nearby, multiple small shrines labeled Narmadeśvara, Koṭi-tīrtha ghāṭ, and Siddheśvara hermitage with siddhas in the sky.
Divine and siddha lineages sanctify geography: tīrthas are remembered as consecrated by deities and perfected beings, intensifying their māhātmya.
Sets of Śaiva tīrthas are named by type: Soma-saṃsthāpita (8), Narmadeśvara (8), Koṭi-tīrtha (8), and Siddheśvara (7).
No explicit prescription; the verse serves as a catalog for tīrtha-yātrā and devotion to Śiva in the Revā region.
