‘ભાલજા’ કૂત્સ–વત્સ સાથે સંબંધિત છે; અને ‘મોહોવી’ આકુશ પરંપરાની છે. તેમ જ ‘ઈયાશ્લીઆ’, ‘શાંડિલ’ તથા ‘ગોધરી-પાત્ર’ પણ ઉલ્લેખિત છે.
Unspecified (Dharmāraṇyakhaṇḍa narrative voice; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa relaying a traditional list)
Tirtha: Bhālajā; Mohovī; Īyāślīā; Śāṇḍila; Godharī-pātra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A procession of labeled village-emblems in a forest manuscript margin: Bhālajā (Kutsa–Vatsa), Mohovī (Ākuśa), then Īyāślīā, Śāṇḍila, Godharī-pātra—each shown with a tiny shrine and a lineage tag.
The Purāṇa preserves dharmic memory by recording how communities align with ṛṣi lineages (gotra/pravara).
The Dharmāraṇya sacred region is the setting; the verse lists internal names and affiliations rather than praising a single tīrtha.
None explicitly; it is an enumerative register.
