Badariٳ (बदरिना�) is a place sacred to Viṣṇu in the Himālayas. The Badariٳ peaks, in British Gaṛhwāl, form a group of six summits, from 22,000 to 23,400 feet above the sea. The town of Badariٳ is fifty-five miles north-east of Srinagar, on the right bank of the Viṣṇugaṅgā, a feeder of the Alaknandā. The temple is situated in the highest part of the town, and below it a tank, supplied by a sulphureous thermal spring, is frequented by thousands of pilgrims. The temple is 10,294 feet above the sea. (Akbar, an Eastern Romance, by Dr van Limburg-Brouwer, with an introduction by Clements Markham, p. 1, note.)—The place derives its name from the worship of Viṣṇu in his manifestation as Badariٳ or Badarinārāyaṇa, “Lord of the badari or jujube tree.� Crooke (Hastings� Ency. Rel. Eth., vol. ii, p. 325) suggests that an ancient tree-cult is probably associated with the thermal spring mentioned above.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
