On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c9.s5.83

v1.c9.s5.83

Above 50 *li* to the north-east of Palusha (Julien’s Varusha?) was a great mountain which had a likeness (or image) of Maheśvara’s spouse Bhīmā-devī of dark-blue stone. According to local accounts this was a natural image of the goddess; it exhibited prodigies and was a great resort of devotees from all parts of India; to true believers, who after fasting seven days prayed to her, the goddess sometimes shewed herself and answered prayers. At the foot of the mountain was a temple to Maheśvara-deva in which the Ash-smearing “Tirthikas” performed much worship.
