Nityananda spoke, “Listen everyone! This is Pañcaveṇī, where five rivers join the Ganges. The Bhāgīrathī mixes with the Mandākinī and the Alakanandā, and the Sarasvati flows here hidden from view. From the west, the Yamuna flows along with the Bhogavati. The Manasa-ganga also quickly flows there. This place is called Maha-Prayaga by the rṣis, who performed millions of sacrifices here along with Lord Brahmā. The glories of this place are incomparable. If one takes bath here, he will not take another birth. Who can describe the glories of this place? All other tirthas become like dried up rivers in comparison. One who leaves his body here on the earth, in the air, or in the water will attain Śrī Goloka Vṛndāvana.

(Sri Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya, Chapter 11)

Near Uccahatta is Pañcaveni, the holy place where the demigods come to rest. At this place the three streams of the Ganges (Bhagirathi, Mandakini, and Alakananda), as well as the Yamuna and the Sarasvati all join together with a desire to serve Gauranga.
Gauranga and His associates purified this tirtha of the sins of Kali-yuga by taking bath here. Vyasadeva and the rsis have not seen any place in the fourteen worlds that compares with Pañcaveni.
When will I remember the lotus feet of Sri Gauranga after bathing in the waters of the Pañcaveni? After filling my hands and drinking the water that washed the lotus feet of Gaura. I will be blessed and intoxicated remembering topics of Gauranga.
(Sri Navadvipa Bhava-taranga)
