STHĀṆUSTHĀNA. A holy place. This place is situated on the eastern bank of the river Sarasvatī. Vasiṣṭha had once built his hermitage here. This place became a holy tīrtha since God Sthāṇu had performed penance here. It is said that the devas anointed Subrahmaṇya as the commander of the army, at this place. (M.B. Śalya Parva, Chapter 45, Verse 48).
