गंगा सरस्वती चैव गोमती नर्मदा नदी । स्वर्णरेखाजले सर्वास्तथा ब्रह्मा सवासवः
gaṃgā sarasvatī caiva gomatī narmadā nadī | svarṇarekhājale sarvāstathā brahmā savāsavaḥ
گنگا، سرسوتی، گومتی اور نَرمدا—یہ سب سُورن ریکھا کے جل میں حاضر ہیں؛ اور برہما دیو بھی اندر کے ساتھ وہیں موجود ہیں۔
Śiva (contextual narrator in dialogue with Pārvatī)
Tirtha: Svarṇarekhā (within Vastrāpatha-kṣetra)
Type: sangam
Listener: A devotee/interlocutor within the narrative frame (later explicitly addresses Śaṅkara)
Scene: A luminous river (Svarṇarekhā) shown as a golden current; within its waters appear symbolic streams of Gaṅgā, Sarasvatī, Gomati, and Narmadā; above the river hover Brahmā and Indra in subtle, blessing presence.
A local tīrtha can embody the sanctity of pan-Indian sacred rivers—making divine grace accessible through one consecrated water-source.
Svarṇarekhā-jala (the waters of Svarṇarekhā) within the Vastrāpatha sacred region.
Implicitly supports snāna (bathing) in Svarṇarekhā by declaring it equivalent to multiple famed rivers and divine presences.
