Balarāma Slays Balvala and Visits Sacred Tīrthas; He Attempts to Stop Bhīma–Duryodhana
संस्तुत्य मुनयो रामं प्रयुज्यावितथाशिष: । अभ्यषिञ्चन् महाभागा वृत्रघ्नं विबुधा यथा ॥ ७ ॥
saṁstutya munayo rāmaṁ prayujyāvitathāśiṣaḥ abhyaṣiñcan mahā-bhāgā vṛtra-ghnaṁ vibudhā yathā
诸位大圣仙以真诚赞颂礼敬罗摩主,赐予无误的祝福;随后为祂行灌顶沐浴之礼,正如天众曾为诛灭弗栗陀的因陀罗举行灌顶一般。
This verse describes the sages honoring Balarāma with prayers and a ceremonial anointing, acknowledging His divine supremacy and auspicious presence, much like the gods honored Indra after a great victory.
It highlights the grandeur of the honor shown: just as the demigods anointed Indra (vṛtraghna) after his celebrated triumph, the sages similarly anoint Balarāma to mark divine glory and auspiciousness.
Offer sincere praise and gratitude to the Lord and His devotees, and value sacred ceremonies (like abhiṣeka) as moments to remember divine greatness and renew devotion.
