So holy is Narmada that, to remove all sins of all lifetimes, one must bathe three years in the Saraswati, seven days in the Yamuna, one day in the Ganges, or mrely glance at the Narmada. She is said to be the consort of Yuvanasva, the son of Amarisa. The couple had a son by the name of Trasadasyu.
