Lord Siva with his trident struck upon the earth on the Kapila Kunda, where from the ear-rings were recovered. Parvati offered the ear-rings to Lord Kapilesvara. Hence another name of Kapilesvara is Kapila-muni and the kunda or tank where from the ear-rings were recovered was known as Manikarnesvara kunda or tank. Every day Lord Kapilesvara is given ritual bath with the waters of Manikarnika tank. Hence the tank is held in high esteem 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manikarnika Tank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
