In the Harivamsha Purana, Balarama and Keshava, united with all their forces, set out towards the west, filled with joy and with all their desires fulfilled. ||29|| The place where the Yadavas danced in joy after the slaying of Jarasandha, became known as Anandapur, and was filled with Jain temples. ||30|| Then, adorned with all jewels, Hari, holding the Chakra jewel, conquered the southern Bharat Kshetra, along with the Devas, Asuras, and humans. ||31|| Krishna, who was served by the desired objects for eight consecutive years, and who had conquered all the conquerable kings, went towards the Kotik Shila. ||32|| Since countless crores of Muniraj attained Siddhahood on that excellent Shila, it is known as Kotik Shila in the world. ||33|| Krishna first performed worship on that sacred Shila, and then lifted it four angulas above the ground with both his arms. ||34|| That Shila is one yojana high, one yojana long, and one yojana wide, and is protected by all the Devas residing in the half of Bharat Kshetra. ||35|| First, Triprishtha Narayana lifted the Shila as high as his arms could reach. Second, Dwiprashtha lifted it up to his head. Third, Swayambhu lifted it up to his neck. Fourth, Purushottama lifted it up to his chest. Fifth, Narasimha lifted it up to his heart. Sixth, Pundarika lifted it up to his waist. Seventh, Dattaka lifted it up to his thighs. Eighth, Lakshmana lifted it up to his knees. And ninth, Krishna Narayana lifted it four angulas above the ground. ||36-38|| Because, due to the difference in time in each Yuga, the power of all powerful humans, starting from the Pradhan Purusha, has been different. ||39|| Seeing the strength of the Shila, all the forces realized that Krishna was endowed with great physical strength. Then, Krishna, the wielder of the Chakra jewel, returned to Dwaraka with his companions. ||40|| There, Krishna Narayana, who was welcomed with various blessings by the elders, entered Dwarakapuri, which was adorned with beautiful Gopuras and was as beautiful as heaven. ||41|| The Bhoomigochari and the Vidhyadhara kings, who were worthy and suitable, were stationed in the palaces of Dwaraka, as per the rules. ||42||
