¹²⁵⁴ ऋषयो वै सरस्वत्यां सत्रमासत। ऐ ब्रा 8 1. माध्यमाः सरस्वत्यां सत्रमासत तद्धापि कवषो मध्ये निषसाद। तं हेम उपोदुद्वास्या वै त्वं पुत्रोऽसि न वयं त्वया सह भक्षयिष्याम इति। स ह क्रुद्धः प्रद्रवत्सरस्वतीमेतेन सूक्तेन तुष्टाव तं हेयमन्विवाय। शां. ब्रा. XII. 3. It may be noted that the Vanaparva chap 83 when enumerating the numerous tīrthas on the Sarasvatī and in कुरुक्षेत्र mentions a famous tīrtha called Saraka which is said to contain in it the sanctity of three crores of tīrthas (verses 75-76) This सरक appears to be the same as the परिसरक tīrtha of सरस्वती.
