सर्पा यन्त्रस्थिता घोराः शम्ये वरुणनैरृतौ । गायत्री चैव सावित्री स्थिते ते रश्मिबन्धने
sarpā yantrasthitā ghorāḥ śamye varuṇanairṛtau | gāyatrī caiva sāvitrī sthite te raśmibandhane
یَنتَر کے اندر ہولناک سانپ رکھے گئے؛ شمیہ پر ورُن اور نَیرِرت مقرر ہوئے۔ اور لگاموں کے بندھن کے طور پر گایتری اور ساوتری وہیں قائم تھیں۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Revā-kṣetra (Narmadā)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Within the chariot’s mechanism, fierce serpents coil as living power; on the crossbar stand Varuṇa and Nairṛta as stern directional guardians; Gāyatrī and Sāvitrī appear as radiant goddesses holding luminous reins that bind and guide the divine vehicle.
Mantric power (Gāyatrī/Sāvitrī) is portrayed as what ‘binds’ and governs motion, suggesting that sacred recitation stabilizes life’s forces.
The Revā Khaṇḍa context sanctifies the Narmadā region; this verse chiefly highlights mantra-deities rather than a particular location.
No direct prescription, though the mention of Gāyatrī/Sāvitrī naturally aligns with japa and sandhyā-related disciplines.
