तुषार

{ tuṣāra }

Puranic Encyclopaedia

TUṢĀRA   A place of habitation of ancient Bhārata. Scholars are of opinion that the present Tukhāristan was the ancient Tuṣāra. The people of this place used to be called Tuṣāras and their King Tuṣāra. The King of Tuṣāra was the store-keeper during the Rājasūyayajña of Yudhiṣṭhira, [Chapter 51, Vana Parva] . The Pāṇḍavas during their exile crossed this country of Tuṣāra on their way to Dvaitavana from the mountain of Gandhamādana. During the great battle, the Tuṣāras arrayed themselves on the right side of the Krauñca Vyūha (an army formation in the shape of a stork) constructed by Bhīṣma. [Śloka 21, Chapter 75, Bhīṣma Parva] . There is a statement in [Chapter 65 of Śānti Parva] that a barbarous tribe called Tuṣāras lived in the country of Māndhātā.
