Tirtha: Candrahāsya
Type: tirtha
Listener: A king (rājan)
Scene: A devotee completes a dawn bath at a forested river-tīrtha, then offers bilva leaves and water to a Śiva-liṅga; seven moon-emblems subtly mark the vow of seven Mondays.

The same tīrtha being described in the chapter (Candrahāsya/Soma-tīrtha complex).
