aṣṭamyāṃvā caturdaśyāṃ nirāhāro vasettu yaḥ | narmadeśvaramāsādya prāpnuyājjanmanaḥ phalam
Ai ở đó mà giữ trai giới, nhịn ăn vào ngày mồng tám hoặc ngày mười bốn âm lịch, rồi đến chiêm bái Narmadeśvara, người ấy đạt quả chân thật của kiếp người.
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Narmadeśvara-tīrtha (Revā bank)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: A pilgrim, lean from fasting, stands before a Śiva-liṅga titled Narmadeśvara near the Narmadā; lamps flicker; offerings are minimal—bilva leaves, water, and a single flower; the moon phase suggests Aṣṭamī or Caturdaśī night.
Human life reaches its intended fulfillment through disciplined devotion—fasting and pilgrimage—directed toward Śiva at a sacred tīrtha.
Narmadeśvara on the Narmadā riverbank, within Revā Khaṇḍa.
Upavāsa (fasting) and tīrtha-vāsa (staying at the holy place) on aṣṭamī or caturdaśī tithis, culminating in darśana of Narmadeśvara.
