________________ SAR 182 SÁT of the Milinda-pañha, (4. 1. 35). The river rises in the mountains of Kumaun and after its junction with the Kali-nadi it is called the Sarayu, the Ghagra or the Dewa. According to the. Moh. (Anuédsana, ch. 155) it issues from the Manasa-sarovara. särika-One of the fifty-two Pithas where Sati's throat is said to have fallen. The temple of Sarika Devi is situated on the Hari Mountain, three miles from Srinagar in Kasmir. It was the hermitage of Rishi Kaśyapa (see Kasyapapura). Sarkaråvartta-It is perhaps the river Sakri in Bihar which has been incorrectly identified by Mr. Beglar with the Suktimati (Arch. S. Rep., Vol. VIII, p. 124 ; Bhagavata, V, ch. 19). Sarkard and Vartt& appear to be two distinct rivers (Devi Bhagavata, VIII, ch. ii). Sarovara-1. See Narayanasara. 2. The twelve Sarovaras are :- Manda, Achchhoda, Lohita, Manasa, Sailoda, Bindusara, Sayana, Vishunupada, Chandraprabha, Payoda, Uttara-Mânasa, and Rudrakanta (Brahmanda P., ch. 51). Sarpaushadhi-vihara-Adinzai valley in Buner near the fort Chakdarra on the north of the Swat river, visited by Hiuen Tgiang (Dr. Stein's Archæological Tour with the Buner Force, p. 31). Sarpiks-A tributary of the Gomati. According to Lassen it is the same as Syandika (Ind. Alt., Map). See Syandika. Sarvana-asrama-Dohthi or the junction of the two streams Marhá and Biswa in the sub division of Akhbarpura, district Fyzabad in Oudh, where according to tradition Dagaratha, king of Ayodhya, killed Rishi Sarvana or Sindhu, the son of a blind Rishi, mistaking him for an elephant, while the latter was filling a pot with water. The hermitage of the Rishi was near the confluence. But the Ramayana (Ayodh, K., ch. 63) places the scene near the Sarayû. Saryanavant-Same as Ramahrada (Rig Veda, VII, 2, 5; Dr. Wilson's Indian Casles, Vol. I, p. 86). It is also written Saryyænavata. Śaśasthali-Antraveda, the Doab between the Ganges and the Yamuna. gatadru-1. The river Sutlej; it is also called the Ghaggar or the Ghara, which is the united streams of the Sutlej and the Bias from their junction at Endreesa to the confluence with the Chenab. The Ghara is known to the inhabitants by the name of Nai (JASB., VI, p. 179). According to some authorities the Sutlej was not one of the rivers forming the Pan. chauad, but its old bed was the Sotra or Hakra (Ghaggar), which dried up owing to its diversion into the Bias valley. According to Mr. G. Campbell, the Ghaggar is the principal tributary of the Sarasvati (Ethnology of India, p. 64; Drs. Macdonell and Keith's Vedic Index of Names and Subjects, II, p. 435). See Sarasvati. 2. Sirhind in the Panjab (Märkand. P., ch. 57; Beal's RWC., I, p. 178). Satiyaputra-The Tulu country including Mangalore (Asoka's Girnar Inscriptions and Smith's Asoka, p. 115).

It is sacred to Adinath (see Bråvasti). The Chaumukh temple is the most lofty of all the temples on the summit of the hill. The Satruñjaya temple was repaired at a cost of one crore and sixty lakhs of rupees by Bågbhatadeva in the reign of Kumarapala, king of Pattana. The Satrufljaya Mahatmya was composed by Dhanesvara Sûri at the request of Siladitya of Balabhi. Satyavati-Same as Kausikt (Vayu P., ch. 91, v. 88) It is mentioned as "Suttewle" in Gladwin's Ayeeni Akbery (p. 785).
