एवं देवा वरं दत्त्वा हरीश्वरपुरोगमाः । स्वस्थानमगमन् पूर्वं मुक्त्वा तन्नाम चोत्तमम्
evaṃ devā varaṃ dattvā harīśvarapurogamāḥ | svasthānamagaman pūrvaṃ muktvā tannāma cottamam
Như vậy, chư thiên—do Harīśvara dẫn đầu—sau khi ban ân phúc, trước hết xưng dương danh hiệu tối thắng của thánh địa ấy, rồi trở về cõi của mình.
Skanda (deduced, narrative continuation)
Tirtha: Unnamed here (the tīrtha whose 'excellent name' is proclaimed)
Type: kshetra
Scene: An assembly of devas, led by Harīśvara, stands above the riverbank shrine; they bestow a boon and then depart skyward, while a sage or herald proclaims the tīrtha’s auspicious name to the world.
Divine sanction and naming (nāma-māhātmya) establish a site’s authority and sanctity in sacred geography.
The tīrtha whose ‘excellent name’ is proclaimed within Revā Khaṇḍa Adhyāya 84 (context: Revā–Kumbheśvara/Skanda-nāma tīrtha).
No specific rite is prescribed here; it narrates the granting of a boon and the proclamation of the tīrtha’s name.
