{ pañcanada }

Puranic Encyclopaedia

A sacred place in Kurukṣetra. If one bathes in the holy pond of Koṭitīrtha there, one would get the benefit of performing an Aśvamedha. [Chapter 83, Vana Parva] .
PAÑCANADA I   A land of the north-western side of Bhārata. This is at present called the Punjab. When Nakula conquered the western states he conquered Pañcanada also. [Śloka 11, Chapter 32, Mahābhārata] . Five rivers of names Vipāśā (Vyāsa), Śatadrū (Sutlej), Irāvatī (Rāvī), Cndrabhāgā (Chenab) and Vitastā (Jhelum) run through this place and that is why the place is called Pañcanada.
