FAQs
The Purāṇic vision treats sacred rivers as divine beings who reveal and conceal themselves to shape holy geography.
Udumbaravana is the named sacred grove; the verse also points to a further śikhara (peak) reached by Sarasvatī.
None explicitly; the focus is on Sarasvatī’s concealed movement (antardhāna) linking tīrthas.
