Mahodara⁴, a muni. § 615 (Baladevatīrthayātrā): IX, 39, 2250.—§ 615k (do.): Formerly Rāma [Dāçarathi] lived in the forest of Daṇḍaka from desire of slaying Rākṣasas. In Janasthāna he cut off the head of a Rākṣasa, which coursing at will fell upon the thigh of the brahmau M. (who wandered through the woods) and piercing it, it stuck to it and remained there. M. in vain visited all the other tīrthas and spoke to many ṛṣis; at last upon his having bathed in the tīrtha Auçanasa, the head of the Rākṣasa fell off and was lost in the waters. M., with purified soul and all his sins washed away, returned to his hermitage; the ṛṣis on account of this event called the tīrtha by the name of Kapīlamocana. The great ṛṣi M., repairing once more to that tīrtha, drank its water and was crowned with great ascetic success: IX, 39, 2257, 2266. Mahodara⁵ = Çiva: VII, 9532; XII, 10416 (1000 names¹).
