Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyTryaṃbakaliṅga (त्र्यंबकलिङ्ग) or simply Tryaṃbaka is the name of a liṅga situated on the mountain Brahmagiri: one of the various Tīrthas (holy places) mentioned in the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—As to the origin of the mountain Brahmagiri, the Brahmapurāṇa (74.22-27) states that once when there was no rain coutinuously for twelve years, creation began to perish. At this Brahmā desirous of creation performed a sacrifice on the mountain Devayajana and from that time onwards that holy mountain came to be known as Brahmagiri. According to the Saurapurāṇa on this mountain Brahmagiri, from where the river Godāvarī, the destroyer of all sins, takes its origin, there is Tryaṃbakaliṅga. Snāna, japa, dāna, yajña at this tīrtha gives eternal reward.
