Kubjamraka—It has been identified by some with Hrishikesa but the identification is not correct. It is a celebrated place of pilgrimage at some distance to the north of Hrishikesa, sacred to Vishnu. The *Mahatmya* of Kubjamraka and Hrishikesa has been treated separately in the *Varaha P.*, chs. 126 and 146 (*Archavatara-sthala-vaibhava-darpanam*, p. 108). It was the hermitage of Raibhya Rishi. It is also called Kubjamra. According to the *Kurma P.*, Kubjasrama or Kubjamra is identical with Kanakhala (*cf.* *Kurma P.*, *Upari*, ch. 34, v. 34, and ch. 36, v. 10).
