देवतीर्थस्य निखिला यथा वै शङ्कराच्छ्रुता । पठन्ति ये पापहरं सर्वदुःखविमोचनम्
devatīrthasya nikhilā yathā vai śaṅkarācchrutā | paṭhanti ye pāpaharaṃ sarvaduḥkhavimocanam
Ceux qui récitent en entier (le récit de) Devatīrtha—tel qu’il fut entendu de Śaṅkara—font de cette récitation une destructrice des péchés et une libératrice de toute douleur.
Narrator (contextual; likely Mārkaṇḍeya continuing the tīrtha-māhātmya narrative)
Tirtha: Devatīrtha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A circle of pilgrims seated on a riverbank listens to a reciter chanting Devatīrtha’s narrative; above them, a subtle form of Śaṅkara/Śiva as the ultimate source blesses the assembly; dark clouds of sorrow dissolve into light.
Faithful recitation of a tīrtha’s sacred account, received through Śiva’s authority, purifies sin and alleviates suffering.
Devatīrtha, praised within the Revā Khaṇḍa’s sacred geography.
Pāṭha—recitation/reading of the Devatīrtha-māhātmya in full.
