Bhṛgu (contextual, continuing narration to Nārada)
Tirtha: Mahī-nadī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Nārada
Scene: Bhṛgu describes the earth surveyed to the ocean’s rim, then points to the Mahī as a luminous ribbon of water, surrounded by tīrtha-symbols (miniature shrines, sages, and devas) suggesting ‘all tīrthas within’.
Certain sacred rivers are portrayed as concentrated sanctuaries—approaching them is akin to visiting many tīrthas at once.
Mahī-nadī is praised as sarvatīrthamayī (embodying all tīrthas).
No explicit rite here; it establishes the river’s exceptional sanctity, implying pilgrimage and bathing will be meritorious.
