KARŪṢA (M). A place in ancient India. Historians are of opinion that it is the Bundelkhaṇḍa of modern India. The sin of Brahmahatyā (killing of brahmins) of Indra was washed away by brahmins at this place. The place where Kariṣa (cowdung) from Indra fell was called Kariṣa and it gradually became Karūṣa. (See under Aṅgamalaja).
