Kaśyapahradatīrtha (कश्यपह्रदतीर्थ) is the name of a Tīrtha (sacred bathing place) that is associated with the Kaśyapeśvara Liṅga (symbolical manifestation of Śiva). This place represents the fourth of the sixty-four siddhaliṅgas mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots Śiva is manifest as a Liṅga. Each of these liṅgas has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.

The auspiscious time for bathing at the Kaśyapahrada-tīrtha near the Kaśyapa-īśvara-liṅga is mentioned as “māgha-kṛṣṇa-dvitīyā caitra-kṛṣṇa-aṣṭamī āṣāḍha-pūrṇimā pūrvāṣāḍhā-nakṣatra” (latin: magha-krishna-dvitiya caitra-krishna-ashtami ashadha-purnima purvashadha-nakshatra). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (snānadina).
