devatīrthāni pañcaiva catvāro vai yameśvarāḥ | vaidyanāthāśca catvāraścatvāro vānareśvarāḥ
デーヴァ・ティールタは五つ、まことにヤメーシュヴァラは四つ。ヴァイディヤナータは四つ、ヴァーナレーシュヴァラも四つである。
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced: Āvantya Khaṇḍa narration style)
Tirtha: Deva-tīrtha (group), Yameśvara (group), Vaidyanātha (group), Vānareśvara (group)
Type: kshetra
Listener: munīśvaras / assembled sages (as addressed)
Scene: A sage-guide points to a palm-leaf itinerary while the Revā flows behind; small vignettes of five Deva-tīrthas, four Yameśvaras, four Vaidyanāthas, and four Vānareśvaras appear as miniature shrines along the riverbank.
The Purāṇa frames the riverbank as a network of specialized Śiva-kṣetras—some linked with judgment (Yama), some with healing (Vaidyanātha)—serving varied spiritual needs.
Grouped sites: five Deva-tīrthas, four Yameśvaras, four Vaidyanāthas, and four Vānareśvaras.
None explicit; the verse continues enumeration intended to inspire pilgrimage and worship at these named Śaiva tīrthas.
