Mahabharata
EnglishRushaṅgu, a brahman. § 615l (Baladevatīrthayātrā): R. was an old brahman always devoted to ascetic penances. Resolved to give up his body he told his sons to take him to Pṛthūdaka on the Sarasvatī (with hundreds of tīrthas and on whose banks dwelt ṛshis unconnected with the world). There R. bathed according to due rites and then said to his sons: “He who would abandon his body in Pṛthūdaka on the northern bank of the Sarasvatī while employed in mentally reciting sacred mantras (japyaparaḥ) would never again be afflicted with death” (nainaṃ śvo maraṇaṃ tapet, v. Nīl.): IX, 39, 2270, 2273, 2275.
