ହେ ନାଥ! ତୁମ ସମସ୍ତ ରୋମ ଦେବସଂଘ; ତୁମ ପାଦରେଖାମାନେ ବିଦ୍ୟାଧର। ହେ ଦେବ, ବେଦମାନେ ଅଙ୍ଗସହିତ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବେ ତୁମରେ ପ୍ରତିଷ୍ଠିତ—ତୁମ ସନ୍ଧିସ୍ଥାନରେ ଅବସ୍ଥିତ ହୋଇ ମହାବାହୁ ପରି ସମସ୍ତକୁ ଧାରଣ କରନ୍ତି।
A devotee/sage praising the Supreme Lord (Viṣṇu/Nārāyaṇa) in Revā Khaṇḍa context
Tirtha: Revā tīrtha (Revākhaṇḍa)

FAQs
Scripture and the divine hosts are not separate from God; the Vedas themselves rest in Him, establishing His body as the ultimate ground of dharma.
The Revā (Narmadā) context frames the hymn, but this verse primarily glorifies the Lord’s all-containing form rather than a named tīrtha.
No direct prescription; it asserts Vedic authority as inherent in the Lord.
