Deductive (Revā Khaṇḍa narrative voice; likely addressing a kingly listener)
Tirtha: Daśakanyā-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: O narādhipa (king)
Scene: A purified donor’s soul is shown radiant, dwelling near Śiva in a luminous realm; Śiva seated in calm majesty, attendants and sacred light indicating ‘sannidhi’.
Dāna performed with dharmic intent purifies the self and leads to proximity with Śiva.
The ongoing context is Daśakanyā-tīrtha in the Revā Khaṇḍa.
Charity (dāna) as a means of accruing puṇya that yields Śiva’s proximity.
