Most of the larger temples have sacred pools attached to them, and thereof eight are reckoned to be the most holy and great purifiers. These are—1, Vindusāgara. 2, Pāpanāśinī. 3, Gaṅgā-Yamunā. 4, Koṭitīrtha. 5, Brahma Kuṇḍa. 6, Megha Kuṇḍa. 7, Alābu Kuṇḍa. 8, Rāma Kuṇḍa. In this reckoning the Kapila Hrada is not included ; but in general estimation it is in no way inferior to the others. The reason for its omission is probably the situation it occupies, so far away from the town proper.
