Baladeva then went to the tirtha known by the name of Ushanas. It is also called Kapalamochana. Formerly, Rama (the son of Dasharatha) slew a Rakshasa and threw his head to a great distance. That head, O king, fell upon the thigh of a great sage named Mahodara and struck to it. Bathing in this tirtha, the great Rishi was freed from that burthen. The great (Shukra) had practised his ascetic penances there.
ततस्त्वौशनसं तीर्थमाजगाम हलायुधः कपालमोचनं नाम यत्र मुक्तो महामुनिः॥ महता शिरसा राजन् ग्रस्तजङ्घो महोदरः। राक्षसस्य महाराज रामक्षिप्तस्य वै पुरा॥
