सप्तजनाश्रम
[saptajanasrama] IAST: SAPTAJANĀŚRAMA
A holy place where seven hermits called the सप्तजनस् , went to heaven by standing head downwards in water. This was the place through which श्री राम and सुग्रीव went to किष्किन्धा . सुग्रीव told श्री राम about the hermitage of सप्तजनस् as follows:
"Oh! राघव ! This vast area is the hermitage where rest could be taken, as sweet fruits and pure water could be obtained and the forest looks like a garden. Here the seven hermits called सप्तजनस् , who did penance and took vow and fast by standing in water always, with heads downwards, did live in days of old." (Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa, Sarga 13) .
