पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

MADHUVILĀ (MADHUBILĀ) : A river which flows in the neighbourhood of Kardamila kṣetra. This river has another name Samaṅga. This is a very sacred tīrtha. Indra who became a Brahmahatyā-sinner by killing Vṛtrāsura was absolved of his sins by taking a bath in this river. Aṣṭāvakra, the sage with eight bends in his body, got himself perfect by taking a bath in this river obeying the orders of his father Kahoḍaka. (Chapter 135, Vana Parva).
