सरस्वत्यास्तटे जातं नगं तालध्वजो बली । वहाँ तालचिह्वलित ध्वजावाले बलवान् बलरामने महाशंख नामक एक वृक्ष देखा
Translation
Vaiśampāyana disse: Na margem do Sarasvatī, o poderoso Balarāma, cujo estandarte trazia o emblema da palmeira tāla, viu uma árvore chamada Mahāśaṅkha, alta como o monte Meru e brilhante como Śvetācala. Sob ela habitavam grupos de ṛṣis. Essa árvore havia nascido na própria margem do Sarasvatī.
