Accompanied by his priests and friends, Baladeva first went to the Tirthas called Prabhasa. There, the Lord of the asterism (viz., Soma), who had been suffering from phthisis, was freed from his disease. Regaining energy there, O king, be now lights up the universe. And because that foremost of Tirthas on Earth had formerly invested Soma again with effulgence, it is, therefore, called Prabhasa.
पूर्वं महाराज यदुप्रवीर ऋत्विकसुहृद् विप्रगणैश्च सार्धम्। पुण्यं प्रभासं समुपाजगाम यत्रोडुराड् यक्ष्मणा विश्यमानः॥ विमुक्तशापः पुनराप्य तेजः सर्वं जगद् भासयते नरेन्द्र। एवं तु तीर्थप्रवरं पृथिव्यां प्रभासनात् तस्य ततः प्रभासः॥
