Indratīrtha–Ādityatīrtha: Balarāma’s Ritual Bathing, Dāna, and Sacred-Historical Recollections
Devanagari script
तस्यास्तु चरणौ वद्रनिर्ददाह भगवान् स्वयम् | न च तस्या मनोदु:खं स्वल्पमप्यभवत् तदा,भगवान् अग्निने स्वयं ही उसके दोनों पैरोंको जला दिया, तथापि उस समय उसके मनमें थोड़ा-सा भी दुःख नहीं हुआ
Transliteration
tasyāstu caraṇau vajranirdadāha bhagavān svayam | na ca tasyā manoduḥkhaṃ svalpam apy abhavat tadā ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: “The Blessed Lord Himself scorched her feet with a thunderbolt-like fire; yet at that moment not even the slightest mental anguish arose in her.” The verse underscores an ethical ideal of steadfastness: inner composure and devotion can render physical suffering powerless to disturb the mind.
