MĀNUṢATĪRTHA : A sacred pond lying on the outskirts of Kurukṣetra. There is a legend showing the origin of this pond. Once a hunter wounded a deer with his arrow and the deer ran and dropped itself into the pond. When it rose up from the water it became a man. From that day onwards the pond became holy and got the name Mānuṣatīrtha. (Śloka 65, Chapter 86, Vana Parva).
