Amarakaṇṭaka in Baghelkhand (22° 41' N; 81° 46' E) is the abode of the chief of Sages (‘Epigraphia Indica’, vol. XIX. p. 295). From there the rivers Narmadā, Son and Mahānadī are said to flow to the West, East and North. From the days of the ‘Matsya Purāṇa’ to the present, this sacred site enveloped in its dust and the smoke of its fires, the pilgrims congregated there.
