Divine rivers are treated as sacred persons; their appearance on earth is tied to dharmic agency and cosmic purpose.

The verse points to places sanctified by the descent/presence of Sarasvatī and Gaṅgā, within the Dharmāraṇya narrative arc.

None directly; it recalls famed avataraṇa events that ground tīrtha sanctity.
