Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 !! Sri Rama Jayam !! The below verses are taken from Srimad Bhagavattam Canto 10.79.19-21 describing Lord Balarama's pilgrimage. tato bhivrajya bhagavan keralams tu trigartakan gokarnakhyam Siva-kshetram sannidhyam yatra dhurjateh || Aryam dvaipayanim drishtva Surparakam agad balah tapim payosnim nirvindhyam upasprsyatha dandakam || pravisya revam agamad yatra mahishmati puri manu-tirtham upasprsya prabhasam punar agamat || which means - " The Supreme Lord then traveled through the kingdoms of Kerala and Trigarta, visiting Lord Siva's sacred city of Gokarnòa, where Lord Dhurjatòi [siva] directly manifests himself. After also visiting Goddess Parvati who dwells on an island, Lord Balarama went to the holy district of Surparaka and bathed in the Tapi, Payosònòi and Nirvindhya rivers. He next entered the Danòdòaka forest and went to the river Reva along which the city of Mahisòhmati is found. Then He bathed at Manu-tirtha and finally returned to Prabhasa. " I was quite happy to read that the holy feet of Sri Balarama swami kissed the soil of kerala also & so sharing with you all. Belated 'Sankranti' wishes.
