A. Epic event: Balarāma in his tīrthayātrā, proceeded from Śamītīrtha to Agnitīrtha; he bathed there and proceeded to the Brahmayoni tīrtha 9. 46. 12, 20.
B. Mythological event (which explains the name of the tīrtha): God Fire, afraid of Bhṛgu's curse, entered a Śamī tree at this tīrtha and disappeared (bhṛgoḥ śāpād bhṛśaṁ bhīto jātavedāḥ pratāpavān/śamīgarbham athāsādya nanāśa bhagavāṁs tataḥ//) 9. 46. 16; (naṣṭo na dṛśyate yatra śamīgarbhe hutāśanaḥ) 9. 46. 12; the gods, in their search for Fire, reached Agnitīrtha and found Fire lying within the Śamī tree 9. 46. 12.
