Narrator (contextual Purāṇic instruction; likely within the Revā-khaṇḍa discourse)
Scene: A woman offers a shining vessel and a pair of sandals to a brāhmaṇa or pilgrim on Caturdaśī; behind them, a path leading to a river-ghāṭa suggests yātrā; a subtle paired motif (two swans) symbolizes marital togetherness across births.
