पुराणम्
English
नौबन्धन / NAUBANDHANA. A peak of the Himālayas. The peak came to be known by this name on account of the following cause. Once upon a time hiraṇyakaśipu stole the Vedas and with them hid in the bottom of the ocean. Mahāviṣṇu incarnated himself as fish to restore the Vedas. The world then was submerged in water and the maharṣis escaped in a boat attached to the horns of the Makara fish. On earth flood rose upto the peaks of the Himālayas. The saptarṣis attached their boat to a peak of the mountain and that came to be known as naubandhana. (nau = boat
bandha = tie). (Vana Parva, Chapter 187, Verse 50).
