Lord Balarama bathed in the Gomati, Gandaki and Vipasa rivers, and also immersed Himself in the Sona. He went to Gaya, where He worshiped His forefathers, and to the mouth of the Ganges, where He performed purifying ablutions. At Mount Mahendra He saw Lord Parasurama and offered Him prayers, and then He bathed in the seven branches of the Godavari River, and also in the rivers Vena, Pampa and Bhimarathi. Then Lord Balarama met Lord Skanda and visited Sri-saila, the abode of Lord Girisa. In the southern provinces known as Dravida-desa the Supreme Lord saw the sacred Venkata Hill, as well as the cities of Kamakoshni and Kanci, the exalted Kaveri River and the most holy Sri-ranga, where Lord Krishna has manifested Himself. From there He went to Rishabha Mountain, where Lord Krishna also lives, and to the southern Mathura. Then He came to Setubandha, where the most grievous sins are destroyed.
