At the end, even though Krishna was reluctant, Balarama took Krishna with him and they set out towards Pandu Mathura, the Pandavas' capital, situated on the coast of the southern sea. The sutrakar has given the words "Dahiṇabeḷāe abhimūhe pāṇḍumahurṁ sampattiē" in the present sutra, which are pointing towards the above mentioned story.
"Jarākumāreṇṁ" means by Jarākumāra. Jarākumāra was a prince of the Yadava dynasty, who was the brother of Maharaja Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Bhagavan Ariṣṭanemi had prophesied that Vasudeva would die by the arrow of Jarākumāra. Knowing this, Jarākumāra was very sad. He decided that he would leave Dvārakā and go to Kośāṁśravan, where he would spend the rest of his life, thus avoiding becoming the cause of Śrī Kṛṣṇa's death. According to his decision, he started living in Kośāṁśravan. But who can escape destiny? When Dvārakā was about to be submerged in water, Śrī Kṛṣṇa was going to Pāṇḍu Mathura with his elder brother Balarama. On the way, they came to Kośāṁśravan. Maharaja Śrī Kṛṣṇa felt thirsty, so Balarama went to fetch water. Behind him, Śrī Kṛṣṇa was resting under a tree, wearing a yellow garment. He had placed one foot on top of the other. Vasudeva had a lotus mark on his foot. Just as the eye of a deer shines from a distance, in the same way, the lotus mark on Śrī Kṛṣṇa's foot was shining. On the other side, Jarākumāra was wandering in the same forest. He was looking for prey. When he came near the banyan tree, he saw from a distance what looked like a deer sitting there. He immediately put an arrow on his bow and released it. As soon as the arrow hit, Krishna writhed in pain. He thought, "Could this arrow be from Jarākumāra?" Seeing Jarākumāra in front of him, his thought was confirmed. When Jarākumāra apologized, he said,
"Jarākumāra! What is your fault in this? This was destiny. How could the prophecy of Bhagavan Ariṣṭanemi be otherwise?" Seeing that it was almost time for Balarama to arrive, Krishna said, "Jarākumāra! You run away from here, otherwise you will not be able to escape from Balarama's hands." The very act that Jarākumāra wanted to escape from, the sin from which he had left the city of Dvārakā and embraced the abode of Kośāṁśravan, he saw that same sin happening by his own hands, and his heart wept. But what could he do? Śrī Kṛṣṇa's pain intensified. At the same time, his peace was disturbed. He started saying, "My killer has escaped from my hands. I should have finished him off." Raudra dhyāna came to its youth, and in that same Raudra dhyāna-filled state, Śrī Kṛṣṇa's death occurred.
"Tacchāe bāluyappabhāe puḍhavīe ujjaliē narē"-Tṛtīyasyaṁ bālukāprabhāyāṁ pṛthivyāmujjvalitē narakē–meaning in the luminous hell of the third earth called Bālukāprabhā.
From the Jain perspective, this world is divided into three realms: Ūrdhvaloka, Madhyaloka, and Adholoka. In Adholoka, there are seven hells. The places in Adholoka where beings are born and experience the fruits of their sins are called hells. These are divided into seven earths, whose names are: Ghammā, Vaṁśā, Śailā, Anjanā, Riṭṭhā, Magha, and Māghavai. Their seven gotras are: Ratnaprabhā, Śarkarāprabhā, Bālukāprabhā, Paṁkaprabhā, Dhūmaprabhā, Tamaḥprabhā, and Mahātamaḥprabhā.
A name that does not have a connection with the meaning of the word is called a 'name', and the name given to an object keeping the meaning of the word in mind is called a 'gotra'. Bālukāprabhā is the third earth. There is a lot of sand,
