Saptasārasvata-tīrtha-prasaṅgaḥ | The Saptasārasvata Pilgrimage Account and the Maṅkaṇaka Narrative
सरस्वत्यास्तटे जातं नगं तालध्वजो बली । वहाँ तालचिह्वलित ध्वजावाले बलवान् बलरामने महाशंख नामक एक वृक्ष देखा
Vaiśampāyana said: On the bank of the Sarasvatī, mighty Balarāma—whose banner bore the emblem of the tāla palm—beheld a tree called Mahāśaṅkha, lofty as Mount Meru and radiant as Śvetācala. Beneath it dwelt companies of ṛṣis. That tree had sprung forth upon the very bank of the Sarasvatī.
