[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-3. Thereafter, O great goddess, a pilgrim should go to the shrine of Balabhadra, the Lord of Suras, Subhadrā, and Kṛṣṇa, the destroyer of all sins.
O great goddess, it was here that Hari discarded his body. In this Kalpa it is remembered as Gātrotsarga. People who adore Balabhadra, Subhadrā and Kṛṣṇa there in the presence of Nāgarāditya will go to heaven.
