Mbh.3.85.4643 | Proceeding next to the highly sacred tank called Payoshni, that best of waters, he that offers oblations of water to the gods and the Pitris acquires the merit of the gift of a thousand kine. |
Mbh.3.88.4810 | In that region also, O bull of the Bharata race, is the tirtha of the royal ascetic, Nriga viz, the river Payoshni, which is delightful and full of waters and visited by Brahmanas. |
Mbh.3.88.4812 | We have heard respecting the sacrificing king Nriga that which really took place while he was performing a sacrifice in the excellent tirtha called Varaha on the Payoshni. |
Mbh.3.88.4814 | The water of the Payoshni, taken up in vessel, or flowing along the ground, or conveyed by the wind, can cleanse a person from whatever sins he may commit till the day of his death. |
Mbh.3.88.4816 | Placing on one scale Ganga and the other rivers with their waters, and on the other, the Payoshni, the latter, in my opinion would be superior to all the tirthas, together, in point of merit! |
