BRAHMASARAS. A holy place in Dharmāraṇya. If a man fasts in this holy place for one night, he would reach the world of Brahmā. In this holy place there is a peg driven down by Brahmā himself. One who walks round this peg will attain the fruits of performing a Vājapeya yajña (a drinking sacrifice). There is another holy bath of the name Brahmasaras in Gayā. (M. B. Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 25, Stanza 89).
