जी तारून नेते व तेजस्विनी आहे, म्हणून ती ‘रेवा’ म्हणून स्मरली जाते. पत्नी-पुत्रांच्या तीव्र दुःखाने ग्रस्त व शापांनी वेढलेल्या नरांचेही ती कल्याण करते.
Skanda (deduced from Revā Khaṇḍa narrative style within Skanda Purāṇa)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Revā appears as a luminous river-devi extending protection to sorrowing men and women; shadowy curse-symbols dissolve as her shining waters carry them across.
Revā is praised as a deliverer—she carries beings beyond distress, including karmic afflictions like curses and intense household suffering.
Revā/Narmadā as a tīrtha granting upliftment from worldly pain and misfortune.
No explicit ritual is stated; the verse implies seeking refuge at the river (snāna, darśana, and stuti are typical tīrtha practices).
