KUŚAPLAVA (KUŚAPLAVANAM) : A holy place. He who bathes and spends three nights there will derive the benefits of an aśvamedha yajña. (Bhīṣma Parva, Chapter 12, Verse 21). It was here that Ditidevī, wife of Kaśyapa did tapas for a son who would be equal to Indra. Again it was here that Indra entered into the womb of Diti and cut into pieces the child in the womb. Kuśaplava became famous because of the above happenings. (Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Bālakāṇḍa, Canto 46).
