Karṇāṭaka

Karṇāṭaka

Karṇāṭaka is a country named in the Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa. Bṛhaspati tells Devendra that the dvija Yakshaśarmā, who kept Śivarātri and died in a Śiva temple, was by the power of that puṇya born as a king in the Karṇāṭaka country, famous as Rājarāja, a maṇḍalīka king. Every day he had Śivārcana performed by brāhmaṇas, and he ruled the earth for a hundred years.
