Brahmasaras, a tīrtha. § 370 (Tīrthayātrāp.): III, 84, 8063 (there Brahmán had raised a *yūpa*).—§ 377 (Dhaumyatīrthak.): III, 87, 8304 (in the east).—§ 380 (Tīrthayātrāp.): At B., with holy peaks and resorted to by ṛṣis, Agastya had come to Vaivasvata; Dharmarāja (i.e. Yama) himself had dwelt there; there all the rivers take their rise (*samudbhedaḥ*) and Mahādeva is always present; there the Pāṇḍavas performed *cāturmāsya* sacrifices together with the great *ṛṣiyajña* (V. BR.). There is the Akṣayavaṭa ("the imperishable banian "), the imperishable sacrificial platform of the gods, where the merit acquired is imperishable. Here they fasted with concentrated souls, and brahmans by hundred came and performed the cāturmāsya sacrifice and talked about various sacred subjects, and the learned and pious Çamatha, who lived in celibacy (kaumāraṃ vratam āṣṭhitah), told them of Gaya Āmūrtarayasa: III, 95, 8520.—§ 595 (Ṣoḍacarāj., v. Gaya): VII, 66, 2353.—§ 735 (Anuçāsanik.): XIII, 25, 1726 (on Gaṅgā, the results of bathing there), 1744 (Dharmāraṇyopaçobhitam).—§ 751b (Çapathavidhi): XIII, 74, 4553.
