Sārasvata–Dadhīca Upākhyāna at Sarasvatī Tīrtha
Balarāma’s Pilgrimage Context
स्वमाश्रमपदं पुण्यमाजगाम पतत्त्रिवत् । प्रविशन्नेव चापश्यज्जैगीषव्यं स देवल:,पक्षीकी तरह उड़ते हुए वे अपने पुण्यमय आश्रमपर आ पहुँचे। आश्रमके भीतर प्रवेश करते ही देवलने जैगीषव्य मुनिको वहाँ बैठा देखा
svam āśramapadaṃ puṇyam ājagāma patattrivat | praviśann eva cāpaśyaj jaigīṣavyaṃ sa devalaḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：德瓦罗如飞鸟般迅疾，回到自己清净的住林（āśrama）。他方入其内，便见圣者阇耆湿婆耶端坐其中——此一相逢昭示住林之神圣：在此处，灵性权威为人所承认；行旅世间之后，教诲、自制与法（dharma）亦当在此重新振起。

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the āśrama as a locus of puṇya and dharma: returning to one’s rightful place of discipline and encountering a venerable sage implies readiness for guidance, self-restraint, and ethical recalibration.
Devala swiftly reaches his own sacred hermitage and, upon entering, sees the sage Jaigīṣavya seated there, setting up a meeting that typically leads to dialogue, instruction, or a dharmic clarification.
