Balarāma Slays Balvala and Visits Sacred Tīrthas; He Attempts to Stop Bhīma–Duryodhana
वैजयन्तीं ददुर्मालां श्रीधामाम्लानपङ्कजाम् । रामाय वाससी दिव्ये दिव्यान्याभरणानि च ॥ ८ ॥
vaijayantīṁ dadur mālāṁ śrī-dhāmāmlāna-paṅkajāṁ rāmāya vāsasī divye divyāny ābharaṇāni ca
Họ dâng lên Chúa Balarāma vòng hoa Vaijayantī kết bằng sen không tàn, nơi Thần Nữ Śrī ngự trị; đồng thời dâng y phục và trang sức thiêng liêng.
In this verse, the Vaijayantī is a special victory garland offered to Lord Balarāma, described as auspicious and made of unfading lotus flowers—an emblem of honor and loving devotion.
The verse depicts devotees honoring Balarāma upon His return by offering royal, celestial items—garlands, clothing, and ornaments—as an expression of reverence and affectionate service (seva).
Offer your best—cleanliness, beauty, and sincerity—in worship: decorate the Lord (or His altar) with care, and cultivate the inner “unfading lotus” of steady devotion.
