VADHŪSARĀ. A river which flowed through the vicinity of the hermitage of Cyavana. This river took its origin from the tears of Pulomā, the wife of hermit Bhṛgu. (For further details see under Cyavana). Because of a bath taken in this river, the body of Paraśurāma shone with radiance. (M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 99, Stanza 68).
