अष्टविंशतितीर्थानि वैष्णवान्यब्रवीन्मुनिः । तेषु वाराहतीर्थानि षडेव मुनिसत्तमाः
aṣṭaviṃśatitīrthāni vaiṣṇavānyabravīnmuniḥ | teṣu vārāhatīrthāni ṣaḍeva munisattamāḥ
Bậc hiền triết tuyên rằng các tīrtha thuộc Vaiṣṇava có hai mươi tám. Trong số ấy, hỡi bậc thánh hiền tối thượng, có sáu nơi đặc biệt là Varāha-tīrtha.
Sūta (narrative voice continuing the Revā-tīrtha enumeration)
Tirtha: Vaiṣṇava tīrtha-s (28); Varāha-tīrtha-s (6)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Munisattamāḥ / dvijas
Scene: The sage announces the count of Vaiṣṇava tīrthas and emphasizes six Varāha-tīrthas; imagery evokes Varāha rising from waters with the Earth, mirrored by tīrtha waters.
The Narmadā landscape is mapped as a devotional network, where distinct forms of Viṣṇu (like Varāha) sanctify specific pilgrimage-points.
The verse does not name the six Varāha-tīrthas individually; it states their count within the Vaiṣṇava tīrtha list.
No explicit ritual is stated; the verse provides a numerical classification for guiding pilgrimage understanding.
