Indratīrtha–Ādityatīrtha: Balarāma’s Ritual Bathing, Dāna, and Sacred-Historical Recollections
इदं च ते तीर्थवरं स्थिरं लोके भविष्यति । सर्वपापापहं सुभ्रु नाम्ना बदरपाचनम्
idam ca te tīrthavaraṃ sthiraṃ loke bhaviṣyati | sarvapāpāpahaṃ subhru nāmnā badarapācanam ||
และดูก่อนสุภรู ตีรถะอันประเสริฐของเจ้าจักตั้งมั่นอยู่ในโลก เป็นที่รู้จักในนาม ‘พทรปาจนะ’ และจักขจัดบาปทั้งปวง
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse affirms the dharmic idea that certain tīrthas, established through righteous association and remembrance, become enduring sources of purification—symbolically ‘removing sins’ and guiding people toward ethical renewal.
Vaiśaṃpāyana proclaims the lasting fame of a particular sacred place connected with Subhru, declaring that it will be known as ‘Badarapācana’ and revered as a sin-destroying tīrtha.
