The Greatness of the Revā (Narmadā): Release from the Piśāca Curse
मज्जंति ये प्रत्यहमत्र मानवा रेवासुतो ये बहुपापकंचुकाः । मज्जंति ते नो निरयेषु धर्म्मतः स्वर्गे तु ते चारुचरंति देववत्
majjaṃti ye pratyahamatra mānavā revāsuto ye bahupāpakaṃcukāḥ | majjaṃti te no nirayeṣu dharmmataḥ svarge tu te cārucaraṃti devavat
Mereka yang mandi di sini setiap hari—walaupun disebut putera-putera Revā (Narmadā) dan sekalipun berselubung banyak dosa—menurut hukum dharma mereka tidak terjerumus ke neraka. Bahkan di syurga mereka bergerak dengan indah, laksana para dewa.
