Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration within Dvārakā Māhātmya)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Listener: ṛṣis/brāhmaṇas
Scene: A gathered group of pilgrims and brāhmaṇas stand with folded hands, praising Dvārakā as a crowned empress of tīrthas; the city is envisioned as a goddess presiding over the kṣetra while they bow.
True sacredness culminates in reverence: recognizing Dvārakā’s supremacy leads naturally to humble worship.
Dvārakā, praised as the foremost among all kṣetras and tīrthas.
No explicit rite is prescribed; the act emphasized is vandanā—bowing and paying homage.
