The two blue water lakes, the Payôda and the sacred Pundarîka, are the mothers of two sister lakes one of which is called the Uttara Mânasa from which the rivers Mrigyâ and Mrigakânta trace their origin. In the Kuru country there are twelve lakes under the name of Vaijaya that are full of lotus beds and fish, &c. They are all like the ocean (in extent(?). The rivers Sânti and Mâdhvî spring from them. There is no rainfall in the eight lakes Kimpuruṣa, &c. They are full of water and (aquatic) vegetables.—67-72. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 121.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.68) - [Next: 121.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.70) - [Up: 121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.121.p34) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.121.69) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.69) · Pramāṇa
