وہاں ‘سپاٹِکا’ نام کی ایک جگہ ہے؛ اس کے جنوب میں، اے دیویِ دیوتاؤں، ایک گویوتی کے فاصلے پر ‘بالارک’ کے نام سے مشہور مقام ہے۔
Īśvara (Śiva) (continued narration)
Tirtha: Bālārka (near Sapāṭikā)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Deveśī/Mahādevī
Scene: A pilgrim’s-eye view: a sign-like depiction of Sapāṭikā, then a southern path to a Surya emblem shrine called Bālārka; the landscape suggests coastal Gujarat with sacred markers.
The māhātmya sanctifies geography: even directions and distances become part of devotional remembrance.
Bālārka, located south of the place called Sapāṭikā within Prabhāsa-kṣetra.
None explicit beyond guidance for reaching the tīrtha.
