is termed in
314-
common parlance pradaksina. A parikrama is also a pradaksina
inasmuch as it is a circular journey, but by convention, it will mainly
refer to a large circuit. Often the devotee will stop to take a bath in
the sacred rivers or ponds he meets on his way. i will give a short
account of such a parikrama which takes place in Varanasi and its environs
on Manasivaratri at the beginning of March (the last new moon
before the vernal equinox). This is named pancakosay膩tra, perhaps from
the fact that it must be done in five days; but the most zealous devotees
accomplish it during twenty-four hours. It covers about sixty kilometres
and the worsnipper must always keep the temples that
ne circumambulates '
every year,

He will make an ablution in the Ganges and then
ne will take the sankalpa, i.e. the eucharist, from a brahman on the

mantra "HAR HAR BHOLE". 薪械 leaves from Assi ghat and will pass near the
following temples where he will stop and pray: Kandava, Bhimacandi,
Ramesvara, Sivapura,

nayak; he returns to manikarnika ghat where he will again take the
鈥�
eucharist, and finally goes to Binay ak Mandir Ganes where the pilgrimage
ends. In a relatively recent work, twelve jyotirlingas are listed which
are spread all over India%; they must be remembered every morning and
evening in order to absolve the sinner of his bad karma as a result of mis
seven previous births (Swami Sivananda

Divine Life Society, 261-2). The author also indicates "five famous
Siva Lingas which represent the five elements" which are found in South-
India.
