ससर्ज भगवान् यत्र सर्वलोकपितामह: । उस तीर्थमें गोता लगाकर बुद्धिमान् बलरामजी ब्रह्मयोनि तीर्थमें गये, जहाँ सर्वलोकपितामह ब्रह्माने सृष्टि की थी
yatra sarvalokapitāmahaḥ bhagavān sasarja | tat tīrthe snātvā buddhimān balarāmaḥ brahmayoni-tīrthaṁ jagāma, yatra sarvalokapitāmahaḥ brahmā sṛṣṭiṁ cakāra |
قال فايشَمبايانا: بعدما اغتسل بلاراما الحكيم في ذلك المَعبر المقدّس الذي أظهر فيه جدُّ العوالم كلِّها، الإله براهما، الخلقَ في سالف الزمان، مضى إلى تيرثا «براهمايوني»، الموضع الطاهر المرتبط بأصل الخلق عند براهما.

The verse highlights tīrtha-yātrā as a dharmic practice: ritual bathing and visiting creation-linked sacred sites symbolize inner cleansing, recollection of cosmic order, and the cultivation of steadiness and discernment in times of conflict.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Balarāma bathes at a holy place associated with Brahmā’s act of creation and then goes onward to the Brahmayoni Tīrtha, continuing his pilgrimage through revered sacred sites.
