Kapālamocana-tīrtha (Auśanasa) and Balarāma’s Sarasvatī Pilgrimage
समाहूता ययौ तत्र पुण्ये हैमवते गिरौ । ब्रह्माजीने एक बार फिर पुण्यमय हिमालयपर्वतपर यज्ञ किया था। उस समय उनके आवाहन करनेपर भगवती सरस्वतीने विमलोदका नामसे प्रसिद्ध होकर वहाँ पदार्पण किया था

Vaiśampāyana disse: Quando foi invocada, ela foi até lá—ao sagrado monte Himavat. Recorda-se que, certa vez, Brahmā realizou um sacrifício na abençoada cordilheira do Himalaia; então, ao seu chamado, a deusa Sarasvatī ali se manifestou e tornou-se conhecida pelo nome de Vimalodakā.

Sacred acts performed with proper invocation and reverence are portrayed as drawing divine presence; the epithet Vimalodakā underscores the ethical-religious ideal of inner and outer purification through contact with the sacred.
The narrator states that, upon being summoned, the goddess (understood as Sarasvatī) goes to the holy Himalayan mountain; the surrounding context explains that during Brahmā’s sacrifice there, she appeared and became celebrated as Vimalodakā.
