Saptasārasvata : nt.: Name of a tīrtha.
A. Location: Related to the river Sarasvatī (sarasvatītīrthavaram) 9. 36. 57; on the Himavant (haimavate girau) 9. 37. 26.
B. Name explained: When Sarasvatī was invited again by Brahman for his sacrifice all the seven forms of the river were once more united in a tīrtha on the Himavant; that tīrtha became known as the Saptasārasvata tīrtha (brahmaṇā yajatā punaḥ/samāhūtā yayau tatra puṇye haimavate girau//ekībhūtās tatas tās tu tasmiṁs tīrthe samāgatāḥ/ saptasārasvataṁ tīrthaṁ tatas tat prathitaṁ bhuvi//) 9. 37. 26-27.
C. Description: Holy (puṇya) 9. 37. 28; excellent (tīrthavara) 9. 36. 57; famous on the earth (prathitaṁ bhuvi) 9. 37. 27; full of many kinds of birds (nānādvijagaṇāyuta) 9. 36. 57; crowded with hundreds of herds of animals (mṛgayūthaśatākula) 9. 36. 62; filled with the sound of Vedic studies (svādhyāyaghoṣasaṁghuṣṭa) 9. 36. 62; resorted to often by peaceful and righteous men (ahiṁsrair dharmaparamair nṛbhir atyantasevitam) 9. 36. 62; trees growing near the tīrtha and different ascetics living there mentioned in 9. 36. 58-61.
D. Holiness: Mahādeva lives there in the āśrama of Maṅkaṇaka 3. 81. 114; 9. 37. 48; those who bathe in the Saptasārasvata tīrtha and worship Mahādeva nothing will be unobtainable to them, here in this world or in the next, and they will undoubtedly go to the world of Sarasvatī (na teṣāṁ durlabhaṁ kiṁcid iha loke paratra ca/sārasvataṁ ca te lokaṁ gamiṣyanti na saṁśayaḥ) 3. 81. 114-115; 9. 37. 49.
E. Epic events:
(1) Janamejaya asked Vaiśaṁpāyana to tell him why Saptasārasvata was so called (saptasārasvataṁ kasmāt) 9. 37. 1;
(2) Halāyudha (Balarāma) arrived at this tīrtha from the Naimiṣeya kuñja of Kurukṣetra (9. 36. 54) 9. 36. 63.
F. Past event: At this tīrtha the great sage Maṅkaṇaka, who was a Siddha, practised austerities 9. 36. 63; once Maṅkaṇaka cut his hand with the tip of a Kuśa blade; from his injured hand flowed the juice of vegetables (purā maṅkaṇako rājan kuśāgreṇeti naḥ śrutam/kṣataḥ kila kare rājaṁs tasya śākaraso 'sravat//) 3. 81. 98.
