Rinamochana Tirtha - Rasina

Vamana, Brahma and Matsya Puranas describe about its sanctity and importance widely. Mahabharata does not refer about it. Pauranika scriptures call it `Rinamochana’ or `Rinaparamochana’. In general language it got the name of `Rinamochana’. According to a brief tale, in the old times king Kakshivana had two sons. His oldest son `Prithushrava’ didn’t marry and not paid any type of obeisance to Agni. Second son also did so. On seeing this, the Pitrigana advised them that should go to the bank of Gautami, take a bath in it and perform `Tarpana’. After performing all these rituals the eldest brother will become free from `Pitririna’ and younger brother from `Parivitti’ (due to being elder brother unmarried, if younger gets married, the latter one becomes sinful and remains unhappy) sin. They performed all sites with pure heart and became free from all sins. According to Brahma Purana Rinamochana sanctum makes a man free from Shrauta, Smriti and other types of all sins.

A devotee becomes happy after taking bath and offering donations here. `Tatra snancna danana sisni muktaha sukhi bhavet’. Vamana Purana says that served by Lord Brahma a devotee who worship here remains free from Deva, Risi and Pitri loans.
