Bedagarbhapuri—Buxar, in the district of Shahabad in the province of Bengal (Brahmaṇḍa P., Pūrva Kh., chs. 1—5 called Vedagarbha-mahat; and Skanda P., Suta-saṃhitā, IV, Yajña Kh., 24). The word Buxar, however, seems to be the contraction of Vyâghrasara, a tank attached to the temple of Gaurî-śaṅkara situated in the middle of the town. Same as Visvamitra-asrama, Siddhasrama, Vyaghrasara and Vyaghrapura.
