Vana Parva, Mahabharata/Book III Chapter 81 mentions names of Tirthas (Pilgrims). Yakshin (यक्षी) (Tirtha) is mentioned in Mahabharata (III.81.19).[1]....One should next proceed to Munjavata (मुञ्ज वट) (3.81.18), that spot sacred to the illustrious Sthanu. Residing there without food for one night, one obtaineth the status called Ganapatya. There, O king, is the celebrated tirtha called Yakshin (यक्षी) (3.81.19). O king, repairing to that tirtha and bathing there, one obtaineth fruition of all his desires. O bull of the Bharata race, that tirtha is regarded as the gate of Kurukshetra. The pilgrim should with concentrated soul, walk round it. Equal unto the Pushkaras, it was created by the high-souled Rama, the son of Jamadagni. Bathing there and worshipping the Pitris and the gods, one obtaineth, O king, the merit of the horse-sacrifice and becometh successful in everything.
