NĀRĪTĪRTHA   Common name for the five tīrthas, i.e. Agastya tīrtha, Saubhadratīrtha, Paulomatīrtha, Kārandhamatīrtha and Bharadvājatīrtha. Once Arjuna bathed in Bharadvājatīrtha. The Apsarā women called Vargās were living in the five tīrthas in the form of crocodiles as the result of a curse. With the arrival of Arjuna there, the crocodiles resumed their previous forms as Apsarā women and returned to Devaloka. (For the curse etc. see under Vargā).
