FAQs
Purāṇic dharma venerates certain rivers as living tīrthas whose remembrance and contact are sources of merit.
The verse glorifies river-tīrthas—especially Gaṅgā (Jāhnavī), Sarasvatī, Yamunā, and Narmadā (Revā).
No explicit injunction is stated, though such river lists typically imply snāna (sacred bathing) and tīrtha-sevā.
