*Bhṛgu-āśrama.*—The *Mahābhārata* calls it Bhṛgutīrtha. The sage had his hermitage at Balia in the Uttara Pradeśa, situated at the confluence of the Ganges and the Sarayū. Here Paraśurāma regained his energy which was taken away by Rāma Dāśarathi.⁴ King Vitahavya is said to have fled and taken shelter in this hermitage. Through the good grace of Bhṛgu king Vitahavya became a Brahmin.⁵
