people of Kachmir call _Saptarshi_,[278] “the seven Rishis;” on the northern side is an issue, which they call _dama bhaváni_;[279] when the world-illuminating sun begins to enter the constellation of the Bull, the water appears there in the following manner: it springs up first from the large cavity, then from the _Saptarshi_: so the Hindus call seven rakshasas, and give their name to the constellation of the Great Bear. Further, the water comes up from the _dama bhaváni_, that is “the mansion of _Bhaváni_, the wife of Mahadéo.” When the cavity is filled, then the water, passing over the borders, runs out; the Sanyásis and other Hindus, who had come from distant places, throw themselves into it, and the people who find no room, carry water from it. Afterwards, the ebullition declines in such a manner, that there remains not the least trace of the water. In this month the water boils up three times a-day, namely, in the morning, at mid-day, and in the afternoon, at the hour of prayer. After the lapse of this month, no more water is seen, until the sun enters again into the sign of the Bull. “Certainly, every thing announces God, And offers the proof that there is but He.”[280] The historians of the times know Sandeberarí among the wonders described by the ancient learned men of Kachmir. The ignorant among the Muselmans of Kachmir say, that Sandeberari is the well of _Abu Ali_, and believe it to be the work of _shaikh Arráis_; the truth is, that _Hajet ul hak_ never came to Kachmir: as it is evident from the concurring testimony of history.
