इसके बाद महर्षि महोदर पुनः उस श्रेष्ठ तीर्थमें गये और वहाँका प्रचुर जल पीकर उत्तम सिद्धिको प्राप्त हुए ।। तत्र दत्त्वा बहून् दायान् विप्रान् सम्पूज्य माधव: । जगाम वृष्णिप्रवरो रुषड्रोराश्रमं तदा,वृष्णिवंशावतंस बलरामजीने वहाँ ब्राह्मणोंकी पूजा करके उन्हें बहुत धनका दान किया। इसके बाद वे रुषंगु मुनिके आश्रमपर गये

在那里，摩陀婆——弗利什尼族中最卓越者——以应有的恭敬礼遇婆罗门，并施与丰厚的赠礼。既尽了布施与尊师重道之义务，他便前往仙人鲁桑古的道场。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma expressed through dāna (generous giving) and satkāra (proper honour) toward brāhmaṇas and the learned. Merit is portrayed as arising not only from travel to sacred places but from ethical conduct—reverence, generosity, and humility—performed there.
After reaching that place, Mādhava, described as the foremost of the Vṛṣṇis, honours the brāhmaṇas and gives them abundant gifts. He then departs and goes to the hermitage of the sage Ruṣaṅgu, continuing his journey among sacred sites and ascetic dwellings.
