Kumbh in the Purana calls the word ‘kumbh’ in the 7th mantra of the 89th Sukta of the 10th section of the Rigveda, and it is about Indra, where it is said that inra enemies and water. In the Rigveda, ‘Kumbh’ means raw jug, but it has no connection to Kumbh Mela or Bath. The word ‘Purna Kumbh’ is found for the first time in the Atharvaveda written 600 years after the Rigveda, it is described as a symbol of time in the 34th Sucta of the fourth mandal. According to Sayan’s comments, ‘Purna Kumbh’ means the cycle of time that the organism takes from one world to another. Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati are mentioned in the 75th Sucta of the 10th section of the Rigveda, indicating the confluence. Prayag is mentioned in Mahabharata and Puranas, but there is no clear mention of Kumbh Mela. For the first time in the Matsya Purana, it was said that the bath in the confluence of Bid Day gave rescue in the month of Magh. In the Padma Purana is bathed in Sangam and watered with water as a medium for salvation. The Buddhist dissertation ‘Majjhim Civic’ says by quoting the Lord Buddha that cruel people cannot get salvation, not even by bathing in Bid Day. From the Buddhist texts it is clear that the recognition of salvation of bathing in Bid Day from the second third century BC was common. Click here Life & Style Click for more stories Click here
