The inclusion of minor rivers implies that sanctity is not limited to famous centers; dharma can be practiced wherever one is, with local sacredness.
Encyclopedic addendum typical of Purāṇas; contributes to ‘place-based dharma’ rather than a pancalakṣaṇa core.
Even obscure names signify subtle currents—suggesting that unseen forces (saṃskāra, prāṇa) also ‘flow’ and can be purified.
