māṇḍavyamṛṣimuttārya jayaśabdādimaṅgalaiḥ | vivāhayitvā tāṃ kanyāṃ māṇḍavyarṣipuṃgavaḥ
‘జయ’ నినాదములతో మొదలైన మంగళాచారాలతో మాండవ్య ఋషిని ముందుకు నడిపించి, ఋషుల్లో శ్రేష్ఠుడైన మాండవ్యుడు ఆ కన్యను విధివిధానంగా వివాహం చేసుకున్నాడు.
Narrator (contextual voice within Revā Khaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Revā-kṣetra (Narmadā tīrtha-field)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A wedding procession led by sages; cries of ‘Jaya!’ rise as Māṇḍavya, dignified and radiant, takes the maiden’s hand in a Vedic-style marriage setting near a riverbank altar.
Dharma is re-established through proper saṃskāra (marriage rite), framed as an auspicious, community-supported restoration.
The Revā/Narmadā sacred sphere remains the setting, though this verse emphasizes saṃskāra rather than a named tīrtha.
Vivāha-saṃskāra performed with maṅgala rites and jaya-śabda (victory acclamations).
