Indratīrtha–Ādityatīrtha: Balarāma’s Ritual Bathing, Dāna, and Sacred-Historical Recollections
त्यक्त्वा सप्तर्षयो जम्मुर्हिमवन्तमरुन्धतीम् । “यह तीनों लोकोंमें विख्यात है। बहुत-से ब्रह्मर्षियोंने इसमें स्नान किया है। पापरहित महाभागे! एक समय सप्तर्षिगण इस मंगलमय श्रेष्ठ तीर्थमें अरुन्धतीको छोड़कर हिमालय पर्वतपर गये थे
tyaktvā saptarṣayo jambūr himavantam arundhatīm |
毗湿摩波耶那说道：七圣（Saptarṣi）留下阿伦达蒂，前往喜马拉雅。此处圣地（tīrtha）名闻三界，许多梵仙（brahmarṣi）曾在此沐浴。噢，福德具足、无罪之女！曾有一时，七圣离开这吉祥至上的圣地，舍下阿伦达蒂，而登上喜马拉雅山。
