Ѳṇi첹ṇaīٳ (मणिकर्णतीर्�) or simply Maṇikarṇa is the name of a Tīrtha (holy places) situated at ṇaī, according to the 10th century ܰܰṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—ṇaī has remained a place dear to Śiva. It is supposed to be a place of ǰṣa for all living creatures. There are many sacred places and innumerable ṅg which are even unknown to Brahmā, so says the ܰܰṇa. [...] The Ѳṇi첹ṇaīٳ at Benares is a favourite of Śiva. A bath at Maṇikarṇa takes away sins and by the sight of Viśveśvara a devotee becomes fit for liberation.
