Kapālamocana-tīrtha (Auśanasa) and Balarāma’s Sarasvatī Pilgrimage
सरित् सा हिमवत्पारश्चात् प्रख्रुता शीघ्रगामिनी । ओऔद्वालकेस्तथा यज्ञे यजतस्तस्य भारत
sarit sā himavat-pāraś ca prakhutā śīghra-gāminī | audvālakés tathā yajñe yajatas tasya bhārata ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。その河は、ヒマヴァット（ヒマラヤ）の彼方の側から奔り下りる急流であり、速やかに流れていた。おおバーラタよ、アウドヴァーラキ（Audvālaki）が祭式を執り行うその時、まさにその場に在ったのである。

The verse highlights the traditional idea that disciplined sacred action (yajña) is believed to harmonize or even draw in extraordinary forces of nature, reinforcing the ethical value placed on restraint, order, and ritual responsibility.
Vaiśampāyana describes a swift river rushing down from beyond the Himālaya and being present in connection with Audvālaki’s sacrifice, marking the event as wondrous and ritually significant.
