Ārṣṭiṣeṇa’s Siddhi and the Tīrtha-Boons; Sindhudvīpa–Devāpi Brāhmaṇya; Viśvāmitra’s Tapas Begins
दत्त्वा दानं द्विजातिभ्यो रजनीं तामुपोष्य च । पूजितो मुनिसड्घैश्न प्रातरुत्थाय लाड़ली,भरतनन्दन! वहाँ ब्राह्मणोंको दान दे उस रात्रिमें निवास करनेके पश्चात् प्रातःकाल उठकर मुनिमण्डलीसे सम्मानित हो महाबली लांगलधारी बलरामने पुनः तीर्थके जलमें स्नान किया और सम्पूर्ण ऋषि-मुनियोंकी आज्ञा ले अन्य तीर्थोर्में जानेके लिये वहाँसे शीघ्रतापूर्वक प्रस्थान कर दिया
dattvā dānaṃ dvijātibhyo rajanīṃ tām upoṣya ca | pūjito munisaṅghaiś ca prātar utthāya lāṅgalī bharatanandana |
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“他向两次生的婆罗门施与布施，又守斋度过那一夜。执犁的巴拉罗摩为诸仙众所礼敬，黎明时起身，行毕所规定的仪轨；并在诸圣者尽皆许可之下辞别，随即迅速启程，前往别处诸圣渡巡礼。”

Educational Q&A
The verse presents a dharmic model of conduct: charity to worthy recipients, self-restraint through fasting, and humility shown by accepting and seeking the blessings/permission of sages before proceeding—suggesting that spiritual discipline should accompany even heroic stature.
Balarāma, during his tīrtha-yātrā, gives gifts to Brahmins, keeps a fast through the night, is honoured by sages, rises at dawn, and then departs promptly—after taking the sages’ leave—to continue on to other sacred places.
