Indratīrtha–Ādityatīrtha: Balarāma’s Ritual Bathing, Dāna, and Sacred-Historical Recollections

Devanagari script

नाम चास्या: स कृतवान्‌ भरद्वाजो महामुनि: । श्रुतावतीति धर्मात्मा देवर्षिगणसंसदि । स्वे च तामाश्रमे न्यस्य जगाम हिमवद्धनम्‌

Transliteration

nāma cāsyāḥ sa kṛtavān bharadvājo mahāmuniḥ | śrutāvatīti dharmātmā devarṣigaṇasaṃsadi | sve ca tām āśrame nyasya jagāma himavaddhanam ||

Translation

That great sage Bharadvāja, righteous at heart, bestowed a name upon her in the assembly of divine seers, calling her “Śrutāvatī.” Having then placed her in his own hermitage under proper care, he departed for the Himalayan region—acting with the restraint and responsibility expected of a sage.
