tāpī caiva varārohe tathā godāvarī nadī | kāverī candraputrī ca śiprā carmaṇvatī tathā
មានទាំងទន្លេតាពីផងដែរ ឱ នារីត្រគាកស្រស់ស្អាត ហើយទន្លេគោទាវរី; កាវេរី ចន្ទ្រពុត្រី សិប្រិា និងចර්មណ្វតី—ទាំងអស់ក៏មានវត្តមានដែរ។
Īśvara (Śiva) (narrative voice; direct address to Devī appears in the adhyāya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (as integrator of regional tīrthas)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pārvatī (implied by vocative)
Scene: More river-devīs arrive—Tāpī, Godāvarī, Kāverī, Śiprā, Carmaṇvatī—each with regional landscape hints (Deccan plateaus, southern groves, Avanti ghats), converging in a single sacred assembly.
A tīrtha becomes supremely sanctified when it is mystically connected with many river-goddesses—symbols of cleansing and grace.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, praised as a place where sacred waters converge for worship and purification.
No explicit ritual is stated here; the verse supports the practice of snāna and abhiṣeka by highlighting revered rivers.
