Naimisha, a sacred forest. § 249 (Arjunavanavāsap.): I, 215, 7817 (ramyam araṇyaṃ, visited by Arjuna).--§ 369 (Kurukshetra): I, 83, 7073 (tīrthaṃ).--§ 370 (Tīrthayātrāp.): III, 84, 8037, 8038, 8039, 8041, 8042 (description).-§ 377 (Dhaumyatīrthak.): III, 87, 8302 (in the east).-§ 594 (Mṛtyu): VII, 54, 2098 (visited by Mṛtyu).--§ 607 (Karṇap.): VIII, 45, 2086.--[§ 615h (Baladevatīrthayātrā): Requested by Janamejaya, Vaiśampāyana related: In the Kṛta-age, the ascetics who dwelt in Naimisha (Naimisheyās tapasvinaḥ, IX, 2159) were engaged in a grand sacrifice (extending over twelve years)
many Ṛ. came there
after the completion of the twelve years' sacrifice they set out in large numbers to sojourn at the tīrthas
the tīrthas on the southern bank of the Sarasvatī looked like towns and cities, they took up their abodes on the bank up to Samantapañcaka, the whole region resounded with Vedic recitations, there were present many sorts of ascetics: Vālakhilyas, Aśmakuṭṭas, Dantolūkhalins, Prasaṅkhyānas, such as lived on air, such as lived on water, such as lived on leaves, such as lay on the earth instead of in beds, etc. (cf. the note of PCR. p. 150)
they made the Sarasvatī beautiful as the gods beautify the Gaṅgā. Not finding sufficient room on the banks of the Sarasvatī they measured out small plots of land with their sacred threads. For their sake the Sarasvatī appeared and made many abodes (kuñjāḥ) in that spot, and then once more flowed in a western direction, therefore this receptacle of water (kuñjaḥ) is named after the ṛshis of Naimisha (Naimishīya iti smṛtaḥ, v. 2175).]--§ 615i (Saptasārasvata): IX, 38, 2201, 2204 (the river Sarasvatī appeared in N. as the river Kāñcanākshī).--§ 653 (Āpaddh.): XII, 153, 5676.-§ 702 (Mokshadh.): XII, 298, 10937 (ºPushkareshu).-§ 718b (Uñchavṛttyup.): XII, 356, 13801 (ºe Gomatītīre tatra Nāgāhvayaṃ puraṃ).--§ 733c (Pushkara): XIII, 25, 1696.--§ 733n (Mataṅgavāpī): XIII, 25, 1719.--§ 757o (Goloka): XIII, 102, 4887.--§ 758 (Ānuśāsanik.): XIII, 103, 4944.--§ 775 (do.): XIII, 166, 7649 (enumeration).
