सोमाश्रयायण / SOMĀŚRAYĀYAṆA. An ancient holy place situated in the basin of the gaṅgā. The pāṇḍavas visited this holy place while they were on their way to pāñcāla from Ekacakrā. It was in this place that citraratha the gandharva who had been defeated by arjuna, had enjoyed bathing sports with girls. It was because of these two facts that somāśrayāyaṇa became a holy place. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 169, Verse 3).
