ʲṇḍܰś (पण्डुकेश्व�) is the name of a ṅg (symbolical manifestation of Śiva) that is associated with the 󲹻-īٳ (a sacred bathing place). It represents the twenty-third of the sixty-four 󲹱ṅg mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots Śiva is manifest as a ṅg. Each of these ṅg (e.g., Paṇḍuka-īśvara) has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.

The auspiscious time for bathing near the ʲṇḍܰś-liṅga at the 󲹻-īٳ is mentioned as “māgha-śukla-navamī� (latin: magha-shukla-navami). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (Բ徱Բ).
