पञ्चरेफसमायुक्तं क्षकारं सुरपूजितम् । ओङ्कारेण समायुक्तमेतद्वेद्यं प्रकीर्तितम्
pañcarephasamāyuktaṃ kṣakāraṃ surapūjitam | oṅkāreṇa samāyuktametadvedyaṃ prakīrtitam
ఐదు ‘ర’లతో యుక్తమైన, దేవతలచే పూజింపబడే ‘క్ష’ అక్షరం—ఓంకారంతో కూడినదే—ఇదే జ్ఞేయమైన పవిత్ర మంత్రసూత్రమని ప్రకటించబడింది।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced from Āvantya Khaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Rudrakuṇḍa / Revā-tīrtha (mantra component for observance)
Type: kund
Listener: narādhipa (king)
Scene: A sage writes or gestures Sanskrit syllables in the air—Oṃ and ‘kṣa’—while devas in the background offer flowers; the river/kuṇḍa glows as the mantra is revealed.
Purāṇic tīrtha-māhātmya often includes mantra-vidyā: knowing and honoring sacred syllables is itself a form of worship.
The teaching appears within the Śūlabheda-tīrtha context of Revā Khaṇḍa, linking mantra-knowledge to the site’s sanctity.
Mantra-knowledge/japa is implied through the instruction to ‘know’ the Oṃkāra-conjoined formula.
