Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaMānuṣatīrtha (मानुषतीर्थ).—A sacred pond lying on the outskirts of Kurukṣetra. There is a legend showing the origin of this pond. Once a hunter wounded a deer with his arrow and the deer ran and dropped itself into the pond. When it rose up from the water it became a man. From that day onwards the pond became holy and got the name Mānuṣatīrtha. (Śloka 65, Chapter 86, Vana Parva).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
