Çankhatīrtha, a tīrtha on the Sarasvatī. § 615ƒ (Baladevat.): Here Baladeva beheld a gigantic tree, Mahāçankha, tall as Meru, looking like Çvetaparvata, and resorted to by many R.; there dwell Y., Vd., Rā., Pṛ., and Si., in thousands; all of them, abandoning other kinds of food, observe vows and regulations, and take at due seasons the fruits of that tree for their sustenance, and wander unseen by men: IX, 37, 2137.
