VĀRAṆĀSĪ (VĀRĀṆASĪ)   Kāśī. (Before reading the information given here refer to the details given about Kāśī under Kāśī and Divodāsa).
1) The name Vāraṇāsī.
Formerly this place was known as Prayāga. Later it got the name Vāraṇāsī and then Kāśī. The name Vāraṇāsī is originated from two rivers. Bhagavān Yogaśāyī who stays in Prayāga was born from a portion of Mahāviṣṇu. From the right leg of Yoga- śāyī the river Varaṇā started and from his left leg the river Asī started. These two rivers are praised and worshipped all over the world. The temple of Yoga- śāyī is situated in the place between these two rivers. As the place is situated between Varaṇā and Asī it is called Vāraṇāsi. [Vāmana Purāṇa, Chapter 3] .
