Bhṛgutuṅga : m.: Name of a mountain.
A. Location: On the Himālayan range (himavatpārśve) 1. 207. 1.
B. Description: Great mountain (mahāgiri) 3. 88. 20; 3. 130. 16.
C. Relationship with Bhṛgu: Bhṛgu, attended on by great sages, practised austerities on this mountain; the mountain then became famous as Bhṛgu's hermitage (bhṛgur yatra tapas tepe…sa rājann āśramaḥ khyāto bhṛgutuṅgo mahāgiriḥ) 3. 88. 20.
D. Epic events:
(1) Yudhiṣṭhira was once instructed by Rāma (Bhārgava) on this mountain (anuśiṣṭo 'si…bhṛgutuṅge ca rāmeṇa) 2. 69. 12-13;
(2) Arjuna, while on exile, purified himself there (kṛtavāñ śaucam ātmanaḥ) 1. 207. 2 (Nī. on Bom. Ed. 1. 215. 2: bhṛgutuṅge tuṅganātha iti prasiddhe);
(3) Lomaśa told Yudhiṣṭhira the aggregate (of holy places 3. 129. 20-3. 130. 15) after listening to which he would soon be visiting the Bhṛgutuṅga (samādhīnāṁ samāsas tu pāṇḍaveya śrutas tvayā/ taṁ drakṣyasi mahārāja bhṛgutuṅgaṁ mahāgirim) 3. 130. 16 (Nī., however, on Bom. Ed. 3. 130. 19: samāsaḥ saṅkṣepaḥ/ yasmin dṛṣṭe samādhiphalaṁ bhavatīty arthaḥ); later Lomaśa advised Yudhiṣṭhira to bathe quietly on this mountain together with those who lived in his house (tūṣṇīm …sāmātyaḥ samupaspṛśa) 3. 135. 7;
(4) Departing from the Kāmyaka forest Arjuna went to the Bhṛgutuṅga and practised austerities; he stayed there for a night; next day, he met on his way a Brāhmaṇa who advised him to go up the mountain Himālaya to practise austerities (girim āruhya śaiśiram) 3. 163. 10, 13-14.
E. Past event.: Bhṛgu practised austerities there (see section
C. above).
F. Holiness:
(1) By visiting the mountain one gets the fruit of a horse sacrifice 3. 82. 45;
(2) It is mentioned in the Tīrthavaṁśa (13. 26. 3); one who is not covetous (alolupaḥ) if he bathes in the great lake on this mountain (mahāhrada upaspṛśya) and fasts for three nights he is freed of the sin of killing a Brāhmaṇa 13. 26. 17.
