    Aṃbikāvana — a forest sacred to Ambikā on the banks

    of the Sarasvatī. Here was a festival in honour of Śiva and

    Devī. To this, Nanda and others went. When he was there,

    Nanda was seized by a reptile, and was released by Kṛṣṇa.1

    Before her marriage Rukmiṇī went to worship in this shrine.2 [Footnote] 1) Bhā. X. 34. 1-18. [Footnote] 2) Ib. X. 53. 39.
