Tirtha: Revā-khaṇḍa tīrtha (general)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee offers a well-prepared meal in a clean vessel to a line of disciplined ascetics seated on kusa mats near the riverbank; the giver’s posture is humble and reverent.
Devotion joined with respectful giving to disciplined renunciants is declared to yield extraordinary spiritual merit.
The instruction remains within the same Revā Khaṇḍa tīrtha-context; the surrounding passage identifies the particular ford.
Offer properly prepared food-alms (bhikṣā) to self-controlled, sense-conquering ascetics.
