Vasiṣṭhāpavāha : m.: Name of a tīrtha, described as a hrada 9. 42. 9.
A. Location: On the river Sarasvatī, near Sthāṇutīrtha 9. 41. 6-7.
B. Description: Famous in the world (loke khyātaḥ) 9. 41. 39; excellent (tīrthavara), bright (śubhra) 9. 42. 1; having fearful, very fearful current (bhīmavega) 9. 41. 1; (mahābhīmavega) 9. 40. 35.
C. Name explained: As asked by Viśvāmitra, Sarasvatī, in order to carry off Vasiṣṭha to Viśvāmitra, removed a part of her bank on the eastern side near the āśrama of Vasiṣṭha so that he was carried away by the water of the river Sarasvatī to the opposite bank near the āśrama of Viśvāmitra; the river then carried Vasiṣṭha back (apavah-) to his eastern bank; hence the tīrtha was so called (apovāha vasiṣṭhaṁ tu prācīṁ diśam atandritā 9. 41. 34) 9. 41. 1-39.
D. Epic event: Balarāma visited it in his tīrthayātrā 9. 40. 35; he bathed there (upaspṛśya) and gave many kinds of gifts; he thereby got religious merit (avāpya dharmam); from there he went to Somatīrtha 9. 42. 38.
E. Past event: Due to the curse of Viśvāmitra, Sarasvatī flew with blood at this tīrtha which was drunk by the Rākṣasas; the river was later freed by ascetics from the curse and the water near the lake became normal (prakṛtiṣthā sarasvatī/ prasannasalilā jajñe) 9. 42. 1-13.
