FAQs

The world’s geography and settlements are not separate from the Divine; the cosmos is embraced within the Lord.

Implicitly the Revā (Narmadā) milieu frames the chapter, but this verse praises the all-containing Lord rather than naming a single tīrtha.

None; the verse is an awe-filled cosmological description.
