Mahāsara.—The books contain a list of seven great lakes, situated in the Himālaya. They form the sources of the five great rivers and dry up only when four suns appear in the world. These seven lakes are Anotatta, Sīhapapāta, Rathakāra, Kaṇṇamuṇḍa, Kunāla, Chaddanta and Mandākinī.¹ Sometimes² Haṃsapātana is given in place of Mandākinī.
