ԲٳԲ (जनस्था�).—This is a part of the forest Daṇḍaka, which lies in the basin of the Godāvarī. Śrī Rāma had lived in this forest with Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa for a long time during the period of his forest-life. It was at this place that Śrī Rāma killed fourteen thousand Rākṣasas (giants) such as Khara Dūṣaṇa, Triśiras and others. (Mahābhārata Dākṣiṇātya Pāṭha, Sabhā Parva, Chapter 38). Mārīca allured Sītā and Rāvaṇa kidnapped her in this place. (Mahābhārata Vana Parva, Chapter 147). Śūrpaṇakhā tried to attract Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, and her nose etc, were cut off, in this forest. It was in this place that Śrī Rāma cut off the head of a Rākṣasa (demon) and threw it away. That head fell in the lap of a hermit called Mahodara. (Mahābhārata Śalya Parva, Chapter 39). ԲٳԲ is regarded as a holy place. It is mentioned in Mahābhārata, Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 25, Stanza 29, that those who stay in this place and take bath in the Godāvarī will acquire imperial prosperity.
