Indra then came in the guise of B.-y. Vasiṣṭha, and told her that everything is attainable by penances, and asked her to boil five jujubes, when he went away to mentally recite certain mantras at Indratīrtha, that was not far away. She sat down to boil the jujubes, but in vain; the day was about to wane; her fuel was all consumed; then she first thrust her feet into the fire, without changing a muscle of her face. Indra then showed himself in his own proper form, and said that her wish would be accomplished; throwing off her body, she would live with him in heaven as his spouse; and this tīrtha would be the foremost in the world and be called B.; he granted her a boon superior to that granted to Arundhatī (s) by Mahādeva: the person who will reside in this tīrtha for only one night and bathe there with his soul fixed on meditation, will, after having thrown off his body, obtain many regions of blessedness difficult of acquisition. Then Indra went back to heaven; a shower of celestial flowers poured down, etc., and Çrutāvatī, throwing off her body, became the spouse of Indra.—Cf. Badarīpācana.*

After the Viṣvajit had been completed, the R. went to the country of the Pāñcālas and solicited the king to give them twenty-one calves to be given away as dakṣiṇā. Dālbhya Baka gave them his, and then applied to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, who, as some of his kine had died, angrily told him to take these. B. set his heart upon the destruction of king Dhṛtarāṣṭra. Cutting the flesh off from the dead animals, having ignited a fire on the tīrtha of the Sarasvatī, he poured those pieces as libations for the destruction of king Dhṛtarāṣṭra's kingdom, which began to waste away, until he, reminded by his counsellors, repairing to the bank of the Sarasvatī, had gratified R. B., who, in order to free his kingdom, again poured libations into the fire. Receiving many animals as a gift, he once more proceeded to the Naimiśa wood, and Dhṛtarāṣṭra returned to his capital.

c5.s2.24

Baka-Cakra-saṃvāda(h) ("Conversation between Baka and Indra"). § 462 (*Mārk.*): III, 193: *Yudhiṣṭhira*, having heard that the *ṛṣis* Baka and Dālbhya were long-lived and friends of Indra, asked *Mārkaṇḍeya* about the meeting of Baka and Indra. *Mārkaṇḍeya* related: After the conflict between the gods and asuras was over, and Indra had become the ruler of the three worlds, all people were happy and virtuous. Once Indra, riding on *Airāvata*, surveyed his happy subjects, and, descending to earth, he made a visit to the *ṛṣi* Baka, who had lived for 100,000 years and was adored by gods and *ṛṣis* (? *devarṣigaṇasevita*, v. 13236; *CR.* has the accus.), in his hermitage in the east by the seaside. *Indra* asked him about the sorrows of those who lead a long life. Baka mentioned several common disagreeable things, and finally, the having to witness the injustices that occur in the world.

c5.s2.25

Indra then asked him about their joys; he described the frugal life of a pious brahman, who only eats what is left on his guest.

Baka-dālbhya (v. "the daughter of Baka," the 10th *parvan*). § 10 (*Parvas.*): I, 2, 445; § 215: I, 157 ff.: The *rakṣasa* Baka, who lived in the abode of the brahman, had been accustomed to eat one-half of the

c5.s2.29

alms. One day Bhīma and Kuntī overheard the brahman complaining (I, 157), and his wife (I, 158) and daughter asked to be sacrificed for him to a *rākṣasa*, and their little son said that he would slay the *rākṣasa* with a blade of grass. *Kuntī* approached (I, 159), and learned that the householders, while the king, residing in *Vetrakīyagra* (see BR.), did nothing to protect the country against him. Now the turn had come for the brahman, and as he had no wealth to buy a man, and could not part with any of his family, he would go with all his family to the *rākṣasa*, in order that he might devour them all (I, 160). *Kuntī* said that one of her sons would bring the food to the *rākṣasa*. This the brahman energetically refused, until she had told him that on account of his strength and *mantras* her son would be safe; but he ought not to disclose this fact to anybody, for then people might trouble them out of curiosity, and if her son imparted his knowledge to anybody he would himself no longer be able to profit by it. *Bhīma* also consented (I, 161). When the others returned home with their alms, *Yudhiṣṭhira* blamed his mother for her rash act; but she relied on *Bhīma* (I, 162). The next morning *Bhīma* set out for the abode of the *rākṣasa*, and approaching he began himself to eat the food he carried, loudly calling the *rākṣasa* by his name. The *rākṣasa* came out in a fury; but *Bhīma*, disregarding his yells and blows, leisurely ate up the whole of that food and washed his hands. Then they began to hurl trees at each other, and thereupon they clasped each other with their arms. At last *Bhīma* pressed Baka down to the earth, and placing one knee on the middle of his back, bent him double, while he (*Baka*) roared frightfully and began to vomit blood (I, 163). Baka died uttering frightful yells. The *rākṣasas*, his relatives, came and promised never again to kill human beings, and from that day the *rākṣasas* of that region were very peaceful towards mankind. *Bhīma* placed the corpse at one of the gates of the town, and went away unobserved. The *brahman* told the citizens that it was a *brahman* skilled in *mantras* (*mantrasiddha*) who had slain the *rākṣasa*, and they established a *Brahma* festival (*brahmapaham*) (I, 164).

[Baladevatīrthayātrā] (“Baladeva’s visit to the sacred places on the Sarasvatī”; cf. Sārasvatam parva). § 615 (Gadā-y.-p.): Vaiçampāyana said: Baladeva first proceeded to Prabhāsa, where Udurāj (i.e. Soma), who had been affected with phthisis (yakṣhman), became freed from his curse, whence its name. Asked by Janamejaya, Vaiçampāyana related Prabhāsotpattikathana (q.v.). Thence Bala-Rāma proceeded to Camasodbheda, where he passed one night and gave away costly gifts. Thence he proceeded to Udapāna (b) (IX, 35-36), and thence to Vinaçana (IX, 36), called so by the R. because the Sarasvatī has there become invisible from contempt of Çūdras and Ābhiras. Thence to Subhūmika (c), Gandharvaṇām tīrtha (d), Gargasrotas (e); thence (“smeared in white sandal-paste and attired in blue robes”) to Çankhatīrtha (f); thence to the Dvaita lake; then, along the southern bank of the Sarasvatī, to Nāgadhanvan (g). Baladeva then set out with his face towards the East, and one after another reached hundreds and thousands of tīrthas that occurred at every step. Bathing in all those tīrthas, and observing fasts, etc., as directed by R., and giving away wealth in profusion, etc., he (always smeared with white sandal-paste) set out for that spot where the Sarasvatī turns in an eastward direction in order to behold the R. in the forest of Naimiṣha (h), and he became filled with wonder.

c5.s2.50.2

“There, at Kurukṣhetra, O foremost of one of Kuru’s race, do thou perform great sacrifices and rites.” Thence Bala-Rāma went to the tīrtha Saptasārasvata (description), resorted to by Vāneyas and other ascetics, where the great ascetic crowned with success (siddhaḥ) performed his penances (IX, 37). Requested by Janamejaya, Vaiçampāyana related the history of Saptasārasvata (i) and Maṅkaṇaka (j) (IX, 38). Having passed one night there, Bala-Rāma went to Auçanasa tīrtha (“the tīrtha of Uçanas”) Kapālamocana; the great muni Mahodara, whose thigh had been seized by the head of a lū. slain by Rāma [Dāçarathi], was liberated. There Kāvya (i.e. Çukra, Uçanas) had performed tapas, and the whole science of politics and morals (nīti) was revealed to him, while meditating on the war of Dai. and Dā. Requested by Janamejaya, Vaiçampāyana related the story of Mahodara (k). Thence Bala-Rāma went to the abode of Ruṣhaṅgu (l), where Ārṣhṭisheṇa had formerly undergone austere penances, and where the great muni Viçvāmitra had become a brahman. Then to that tīrtha where Brahmān (Lokapitāmahaḥ) had created the worlds; where the great B. Ārṣhṭisheṇa had acquired brahmanhood; where the R.-ṛ. Sindhudvīpa, the great ascetic Devāpi (both in the Kṛta age, 1X, 40, 2294), and the muni Viçvāmitra had obtained brahmanhood (IX, 39). Requested by Janamejaya, Vaiçampāyana related the history of Ārṣhṭisheṇa (m) and of Viçvāmitra (n).

c5.s2.50.3

Thence to the abode of Baka, where Dalbhya Baka had practised austerities (IX, 40); which resounded with the chanting of the Vedas (brahmaghoṣhair avākīrṇam; B. has Brahmayoner Avākīrṇam “from Br. to Av.,” Nīl.), where the R. Baka Dālbhya (o) poured tho kingdom of Dhṛtarāṣhṭra Vaicitravīryi (? Vaicitravīryiṇaḥ, genitive) as a libation into the sacrificial fire. In that tīrtha Bṛhaspati also poured libations into the sacrificial fire, by means of flesh, in order to destroy the Asuras, and tho As. began to waste away and were destroyed by the gods. Thence to Yuyāta tīrtha, where, at a sacrifice of king Yayāti Nāhuṣha, the Sarasvatī produced milk and clarified butter, whereafter Yayāti went to heaven. Once again Yayāti performed a sacrifice there, and Sarasvatī gave to each of the brahmans everything for which he cherished a wish; they regarded the gifts as made to them by the king, and praised and blessed him; D. and G. were pleased. Thence Baladeva proceeded to the tīrtha Vasiṣhṭhāpavāha (IX, 41). Requested by Janamejaya, Vaiçampāyana told the history of Vasiṣhṭhāpavāha (p), and why it is so rapid, and the brahmanicide of Indra (s), who was purified by bathing in that tīrtha. Thence Baladeva went to the tīrtha of Soma, where in days of yore Soma had performed the Rājasūya sacrifice, with Atri for his hotṛ, after which the great battle took place between D. and Dā., Dai., and a Rū.

named Tāraka, in which Skanda (Mahāsena) slew Tāraka and obtained the command of the celestial forces; in that tīrtha is a gigantic Açvattha tree, under whose shade Kārttikeya (Skanda) always resides in person (IX, 43). Requested by Janamejaya, Vaiçampāyana related the investiture of Skanda (u). The tīrtha, where in days of yore Varuṇa, the lord of the waters, had been installed by the gods, is named Taijasa. Having bathed in that tīrtha, and in Skanda, Bala-Rāma gave gold, etc., and after passing one night there, he became purified (IX, 44-46). Requested by Janamejaya, Vaiçampāyana related the installation of Indra (v). Thence Baladeva (“the slayer of Pralamba”) went to Agnitīrtha, where Agni had performed penances in the Çami wood, where he had been invisible to the gods, and asked him to perform the sacrifice (IX, 46). Vaiçampāyana continued.

c5.s2.51

he went to *Brahmayoni*, where *Brahmán* had exercised his functions of creation; in days of yore *Brahmán*, having bathed in that *tīrtha* with all the gods, created all the *tīrthas* for the gods, according to due rites. Thence to *Kaubera tīrtha*, where *Ailavila* (i.e. *Kubera*) (*x*), having practised austerities, obtained the mastery of all treasures (*Dhanādhipatyam*), and all kinds of wealth, etc., came to him of their own accord. *Rāma* there beheld the excellent woods of *Kubera*. Thence *Bala-Rāma* went to *Badarapācana*, where the fruits of every season are always to be found (IX, 47), and where many ascetics and Si. are dwelling. (The story of *Badarapācana* (*y*) and of *Arundhatī* (*z*).) Requested by *Janamejaya*, *Vaiśampāyana* related the birth of *Śrutāvatī* (*aa*). Then *Baladeva* proceeded to *Indratīrtha* (IX, 48). (The history of *Indratīrtha* (*bb*).) Thence to *Rāmatīrtha* (*cc*), the resort of D. and B.-r. Thence to *Yamunātīrtha* (*dd*). Thence *Baladeva*, adorned with garlands of wild flowers (*vanamālā*), proceeded to *Adityatīrtha* (*ee*), where also R. *Asita Devala* obtained great yoga powers (IX, 49). (The history of *Asita Devala* (*ff*).) Thence *Bala-Rāma* went to the *tīrtha* of *Soma* (IX, 50), where *Soma* had in former days performed the *Rājasūya* sacrifice, and where the great battle was fought about *Tārā* (*Tārāmayah*). Thence *Bala-Rāma* proceeded to the *tīrtha* of the muni *Sārasvata*, where, during a drought of twelve years, *Sārasvata* in former days taught the *Vedas* to many *brahmans*. Requested by *Janamejaya*, *Vaiśampāyana* related the history of *Sārasvata* (*gg*) and of *Dadhica* (*hh*). Thence *Bala-Rāma* proceeded to the *tīrtha* of the old maiden (*vṛddhakanyā*) (IX, 51). Requested by *Janamejaya*, *Vaiśampāyana* related the story of the *vṛddhakanyā* (*ii*). While there, *Baladeva* heard of the slaughter of *Śalya*. Having come out of the environs of *Samantapañcaka* (*Samantapañcakadvārāt*), he enquired of the R. what was the result of a visit to *Kurukshetra*, which they told him (IX, 52). (*Kurukṣetrakathana* (*kk*) (IX, 53).) Having visited *Kurukshetra*, *Bala-Rāma* proceeded to a large and exceedingly beautiful hermitage, overgrown with *madhūkas*, etc., and was told by R.: Here *Viṣṇu* in days of yore undertook austere penances and performed duly all the eternal sacrifices. Here a *brāhmaṇī* girl, having from youth observed the vow of *brahmacarya*, was crowned with success (*siddhā*), and, in possession of yoga powers, she proceeded to heaven. The beautiful daughter of *Śāṇḍilya*, a *brahmacāriṇī*, who had performed penances difficult to women, went to heaven [here], and was worshipped by the gods and *brahmans*. *Baladeva* then began his ascent of *Himavat*, and soon came to the *tīrtha* *Plakṣaprasravaṇa*, and thence to the *tīrtha* *Kārapavana* (PCR. °*vapa*°), where he passed one night. > the asylum of *Mitra* and *Varuṇa*. From *Kārapavana* > that spot on the *Yamunā* where in days of yore *Indra*, *Agni*, and *Aryaman* had obtained great happiness. Then he sat down with R. and Si. in order to listen to their talk. Then came R. *Nārada* (*ll*), and, asked by *Bala-Rāma*, he told him what had happened to the *Kurus*, including the names of those that had fallen (*v*), and of those that were alive, and asked him to go to the field to witness the combat between *Bhīma* and *Duryodhana*, which was to take place that day. *Bala-Rāma* then bade farewell, and the R. who had accompanied him to *Dvāraka*, and *Plakṣaprasravaṇa*, and sang his praises. Then he ascended a chariot and went to the field (IX, 54).
