tataś ca bhārataḿ varṣaḿ
parītya su-samāhitaḥ
caritvā dvādaśa-māsāḿs
tīrtha-snāyī viśudhyasi
tatah -- then; ca -- and; bharatam varsham -- the land of Bharata (India); paritya -- circumambulating; su-samahitah -- in a serious mood; caritva -- performing penances; dvadasa -- twelve; masan -- months; tirtha -- at holy places of pilgrimage; snayi -- bathing; visudhyasi -- You will be purified.
Thereafter, for twelve months, You should circumambulate the land of Bharata in a mood of serious meditation, executing austerities and bathing at various holy pilgrimage sites. In this way You will become purified.
Srila Jiva Gosvami points out that the word visudhyasi means that Lord Balarama would achieve spotless fame by setting such a perfect example for the people in general.
Srila Prabhupada writes, "The brahmanas could understand the purpose of the Lord, and thus they suggested that He atone in a manner which would be beneficial for them."
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Tenth Canto, Seventy-eighth Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "The Killing of Dantavakra, Viduratha and Romaharshana."
