Listener: Nṛpa/Rājan
Scene: Two rivers of distinct hues meet; Kubera steps into the waters with folded hands, attendants holding garments; the moment emphasizes purity and resolve rather than opulence.
Purification begins with tīrtha-snānā—approaching a sacred place with bodily and mental cleanliness as a foundation for dharma and devotion.
The renowned Kāverī–Narmadā confluence (saṅgama), praised as a world-famous tīrtha.
Snāna (holy bathing) at the saṅgama, followed by becoming śuci (ritually pure).
