[world-vedic] Saraswati in Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3, chap 1, verse 21 and 22

[Guest guest]

This is update of my previous message. Note below that Srimad Bhagavatam

Canto 3, chap 1, verse 22 gives the list of Tirth - places of prilgrimages

on the bank of the river Saraswati.

 

Dear Friends:

 

I happen to read Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3, chap 1, verse 21 & 22:

 

tatrath susrva suhrd-vinastim, vanam yatha venuja-vahi-samsrayam

samspradhaya dagdham athanusocan, sarasvatim pratyag iyaya tusnim

 

At the place of pilgrimage at Prabhasa, it came to his lnowledge that all

his relatives had died due to violent passion, ust as an entire forest

burns due to fire produced by the friction of bamboos. After this he

proceeded west, where the River Sarasvati flows.

 

tasyam tritasya usanash manos ca, prthor atha agner asitasya vayoh

tirtha sudasasya gavam guhasya, yat shraddhaadevasya sah asiseve

 

On the bank of the River Saraswati there were eleven places of prilgrimage,

namely (1) Trita, (2) Usana, (3) Manu, (4) Prathu,

(5) Agni, (6) Asita, (7) Vayu, (8) Sudasa, (9) Go, (10) Guha and

(11) Sraddhadeva. Vidura visited all of them and duly performed rituals.

 

Thank you and Hare Kirshna,

Gadadhar Dasa
