خواہ وہ فتنہ انگیز ہو، ناشکرا ہو، مالک سے غداری کرنے والا ہو، دوست کو دھوکا دینے والا ہو، گائے کا قاتل ہو، زہر دینے والا ہو، یا کنیا کی خرید و فروخت کرنے والا ہو—
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice within Revā Khaṇḍa; traditionally Sūta-like narration)
Tirtha: Revā-mahātmya (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A didactic tableau showing shadowy figures representing the listed sins—betrayer, poisoner, cow-killer, deceiver—contrasted with a luminous path of purification (river/tirtha light) in the background, implying hope beyond wrongdoing.
The text sets up a catalogue of severe wrongdoing to emphasize the extraordinary purifying power associated with Narmadā devotion.
Revā/Narmadā is the implied purifier whose māhātmya is being extolled.
The prescription is continued in the next verses: hearing/serving the Narmadā narrative as a means of purification.
