विश्वमित्रो देवरात उदलश्च त्रयः स्मृताः । चचाई देवी सा प्रोक्ता शृणु त्वं नृप सत्तम
viśvamitro devarāta udalaśca trayaḥ smṛtāḥ | cacāī devī sā proktā śṛṇu tvaṃ nṛpa sattama
ವಿಶ್ವಾಮಿತ್ರ, ದೇವರಾತ, ಉದಲಾ—ಈ ಮೂವರು ಪ್ರವರ ಋಷಿಗಳೆಂದು ಸ್ಮರಿಸಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಚಚಾಈ ದೇವಿಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಕಟಿತಳು; ಓ ನೃಪಸತ್ತಮ, ಕೇಳು.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice addressing a king)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya (local sub-site: Kaṇṭavāḍīyā)
Type: kshetra
Listener: King (nṛpa-sattama)
Scene: A triad of radiant sages—Viśvāmitra, Devarāta, Udalā—appear as remembered pravara seers, while a local goddess Cacāī is indicated as presiding; the king listens as names are solemnly pronounced.
Dharma is anchored in living memory—r̥ṣis, pravara, and devī traditions together shape sacred identity.
No single tirtha is praised; the verse continues the Dharmāraṇya lineage/pravara documentation.
The pravara seers to be remembered/invoked are listed (Viśvāmitra, Devarāta, Udalā).
