Possessed of great might and great prowess, Baladeva then proceeded to that tirtha where the worshipful Brahma had created the mountains called Lokaloka and where that best of Rishis, Arshtishena, of rigid vows, had by hard penances acquired the dignity of Brahmana-hood and where the royal saint Sindhudvipa and the great ascetic Devapi and the worshipful and illustrious Vishvamitra of hard penances and fierce energy, had all acquired a similar dignity.
सिन्धुद्वीपश्च राजर्षिर्देवापिश्च महातपाः। ब्राह्मण्यं लब्धवान् यत्र विश्वामित्रस्तथा मुनिः॥ महातपस्वी भगवानुग्रतेजा महायशाः। तत्राजगाम बलवान् बलभद्रः प्रतापवान्॥
