(2) One should bathe in these lakes and satisfy manes; the manes, thus pleased, will grant him whatever unobtainable is desired by him and heaven for all times (hradeṣv eteṣu yaḥ snātvā pitṝn saṁtarpayiṣyati/pitaras tasya vai prītā dāsyanti bhuvi durlabham/īpsitaṁ manasaḥ kāmaṁ svargalokaṁ ca śāśvatam//) 3. 81. 31;
(3) By bathing in this lake and by abstaining from food for twelve days one is freed of sin (rāmahrada upaspṛśya…/dvādaśāhaṁ nirāhāraḥ kalmaṣād vipramucyate//) 13. 26. 44.
D. History: Rāma (Bhārgava), after extirpating the Kṣatriyas, founded five lakes and filled them with blood; he satisfied there his ancestors and grand-fathers (kṣatram utsādya vīryeṇa hradāḥ pañca niveṣitāḥ//pūrayitvā naravyāghra rudhireṇeti naḥ śrutam/pitaras tarpitāḥ sarve tathaiva ca pitāmahāḥ) 3. 81. 22-23; Rāma requested the satisfied ancestors to turn the lakes of blood into tīrthas; this request was granted (hradāṁś ca tīrthabhūtā me bhaveyuḥ/…hradāś ca tava tīrthatvaṁ gamiṣyanti na saṁśayaḥ) 3. 81. 27, 30.
E. Epic event:
(1) While visiting the tīrthas on the river Yamunā, Lomaśa pointed out these lakes to Yudhiṣṭhira (rāmahradān) 3. 129. 6;
(2) Rāmahrada (rāmahrade) was one of the places where Ambā bathed (āplāvayata gātrāṇi) and practised severe austerities to achieve her objective of killing Bhīṣma 5. 187. 27-28;
(3) While proceeding to Kurukṣetra to meet Bhīṣma, Kṛṣṇa showed to Yudhiṣṭhira at some distance the five lakes of Rāma (amī rāmahradāḥ pañca dṛśyante pārtha dūrataḥ) 12. 48. 8.
F. Past event: Rāma satisfied his ancestors with the blood of Kṣatriyas who were killed by him (yeṣu saṁtarpayām āsa pūrvān kṣatriyaśoṇitaiḥ); after rendering the earth devoid of Kṣatriyas twentyone times Rāma Jāmadagnya gave up this activity here (ihedānīṁ tato rāma karmaṇo virarāma ha) 12. 48. 8-9.
