(叠补濒补产丑补诲谤补谤腻尘补, 叠补濒补谤腻尘补, Baladeva). The elder brother of 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and the eighth incarnation of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻.*

Birth.

When the number of wicked kings increased Bh奴m墨dev墨 (goddess of Earth) turned herself into a cow and took refuge in 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 then promised to be born as the sons of Vasudeva named Balabhadrar膩ma and 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and destroy the wicked. Vasudeva was the son of the 驰腻诲补惫补, 艢奴谤补蝉别苍补, King of 惭补诲丑耻谤腻. To Devaka the brother of another 驰腻诲补惫补 King, Ugrasena, was born a daughter 顿别惫补办墨. The marriage of 顿别惫补办墨 with Vasudeva was celebrated but on the same day an A艣ar墨ri峁嚹� (a heavenly voice from above) said that the eighth child of 顿别惫补办墨 would kill 碍补峁僺补. Instantly 碍补峁僺补 put both Vasudeva and 顿别惫补办墨 in jail. The first six sons born to 顿别惫补办墨 were killed the moment they were born by striking them against the ground. 顿别惫补办墨 became pregnant for the seventh time. The babe in the womb was Ananta incarnate by 痴颈峁ａ箛耻鈥檚 directive to be of help to him when he would also be born soon as 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. Therefore it was necessary to save the child from the cruel hands of 碍补峁僺补 as it was certain he would kill the babe the same way he had killed all the others before. So he ordered 惭腻测腻诲别惫墨 to take the child from the womb of 顿别惫补办墨 and place it in that of 搁辞丑颈峁嚹�, another wife of Vasudeva. 惭腻测腻诲别惫墨 did so and the boy got the name Sa峁僩har峁�a峁嘺, also because of this. The news spread that 顿别惫补办墨 aborted. 搁辞丑颈峁嚹� delivered a boy and was named Sa峁僩har峁�a峁嘺 alias Balabhadrar膩ma. (Da艣ama Skandha, 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).

The colour of 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 and 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺.

艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 is the eighth child of 顿别惫补办墨. The elder brother 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 is white in complexion while the younger, 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 is black in complexion. There is a story behind this. The devas decided to be born as 骋辞辫腻濒补蝉 (shepherds) in the earth to be of help to 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 in his duty of killing the wicked. They informed 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 of their decision and the Lord was immensely pleased. He then took one white hair from his head and said that it would go to 搁辞丑颈峁嚹�鈥檚 womb and change into 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 and taking a black hair said that it would go into 顿别惫补办墨鈥檚 womb and change into 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. It was thus that Balabhadra became white and 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 black. (Chapter 199, 膧di Parva, 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补).

Brothers.

Balabhadrar膩ma had six brothers born of his mother 搁辞丑颈峁嚹�. They were: Gada, 厂腻谤补峁嘺, Durddama, Vipula, Dhruva, and 碍峁泃补. (Navama Skandha, 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).

4) Till their marriage 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 spent his childhood in A峁僢膩岣峣 and 叠补濒补谤腻尘补, in 惭补诲丑耻谤腻. Once the sage Garga went to the house of Vasudeva and it was he who then told the story behind the births of 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 and 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. Hearing this Vasudeva went to 惭补诲丑耻谤腻 and brought Balabhadrar膩ma also to A峁僢膩岣峣. Gargamuni then performed all those sacred rites which were usually done to boys of that age and both of them then remained in A峁僢膩岣峣. Several important events happened during their stay here, notable among which are: 笔奴迟补苍腻mok峁�am (killing of the demoness 笔奴迟补苍腻 and giving her salvation). 艢aka峁�膩suravadha (killing the asura, 艢补办补峁璦), T峁涐箛膩varttavadha (killing the asura, T峁涐箛膩vartta), Vats膩suravadha (killing the asura, Vatsa), Bakavadha (killing the demon bird, Baka), Agh膩suravadha (killing the asura, Agha), Dhenuk膩suravadha (killing the asura, Dhenuka), K膩liamardana (beating the snake, K膩lia) and Pralambavadha (killing Pralamba). (See under 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 for more details).

碍补峁僺补 conducted a C膩pap奴j膩 (worship of the bow) to kill 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. It was on a festive scale and both 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 went to 惭补诲丑耻谤腻 to attend the same. There they killed 碍补峁僺补 and after that went to the 腻艣谤补尘补 of 厂腻苍诲墨辫补苍颈 惭补丑补谤峁�i for education. When they completed their education they at the request of the preceptor gave as 骋耻谤耻诲补办峁�i峁嚹� (The fee you pay in the end for the instructions given) the lost child of the guru. Then they went to 惭补诲丑耻谤腻 and there several events took place, important among which was the fight between 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and 闯补谤腻蝉补苍诲丑补. By this time the 驰腻诲补惫补s were becoming lean financially and so to make some money 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and 搁腻尘补 went to the diamond-infested mountain of Gomantaka. On their way they met 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补 doing penance under a Banyan tree. On the advice of 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补 they killed S峁沢膩lavasudeva and got immense wealth. On their return 搁腻尘补 and 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 along with many 驰腻诲补惫补s went and settled down in the island, 顿惫腻谤补办腻, in the western ocean. (Da艣ama Skandha, 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).

Marriage.

Before the advent of 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 and 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 the island 顿惫腻谤补办腻 was known as 碍耻艣补蝉迟丑补濒墨. It was ruled over by a famous 搁腻箩补谤峁�i, Revata. This king was the son of King 膧nartta and grandson of emperor 艢补谤测腻迟颈. Revata got a hundred sons, Kukudmin being the first and a daughter named 搁别惫补迟墨. When the time for marriage of his daughter came the King was anxious to find out a fitting husband for her and he went to Brahmaloka to take the advice of 叠谤补丑尘腻. 搁别惫补迟墨 also accompanied him. There stupefied he saw Vedas, 驰补箩帽补蝉, mountains, rivers, oceans, 峁歵us, all in divine figures standing before 叠谤补丑尘腻, worshipping him. The sweet celestial songs gave them both untold happiness. He then told 叠谤补丑尘腻 the purpose of his visit and 叠谤补丑尘腻 meditating for some time told him that Balabhadrar膩ma, son of Vasudeva, was the only one person suited for her. The king returned to 顿惫腻谤补办腻 and gave his daughter in marriage to 叠补濒补谤腻尘补. (Saptama Skandha, Dev墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).

A pilgrimage.

When the great 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补-Kaurava battle started 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 became the charioteer of Arjuna and 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 went to the forest, 狈补颈尘颈艣补. He was not much interested in the battle. At the forest of 狈补颈尘颈峁�a he saw 厂奴迟补 telling Pur膩峁噄c stories to the several sages assembled there before him. 厂奴迟补 did not rise up when he saw 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 and the latter moved to anger very soon cut off the head of 厂奴迟补. The sages assembled there decried the act of 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 and lamented deeply over the incident. At this 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 promised that he would give birth, from the dead body of 厂奴迟补, to one who will be well versed in all the Vedas, 艣腻蝉迟谤补蝉 and sciences. The sages then blessed 叠补濒补谤腻尘补.

During that time there lived in the vicinity of 狈补颈尘颈峁�a forest a demon called Balvala (Vatkala). He used to annoy the sages there and the sages requested 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 to put a stop to the atrocities of that demon. He immediately killed the demon by his weapon, Hala, and then raised from the dead body of 厂奴迟补 a 辫补峁囜笉颈迟补 of great erudition. Later, to remedy the sin of killing 厂奴迟补, 叠补濒补谤腻尘补, repentant, visited all the sacred places in 叠丑腻谤补迟补. Once when he heard about the grim battle between Duryodhana and 叠丑墨尘补蝉别苍补, he went to the battle-field and tried his best to stop the war. Disappointed he returned to 顿惫腻谤补办腻. (Da艣ama Skandha, Chapter 79, 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).

Death.

Once the 峁涐梗is 狈腻谤补诲补, 碍补峁噕补 and 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 came to 顿惫腻谤补办腻. To make fun of them some of the 驰腻诲补惫补s dressed a 驰腻诲补惫补 like a pregnant woman and producing her before the sages asked them what child she would deliver. Enraged at this the munis said in one voice that she would deliver a mace and that iron mace would be the cause of the end of all 驰腻诲补惫补s.

After the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 battle the 驰腻诲补惫补 dynasty remained alive only for thirtysix years. After that by the curse of the brahmin the 驰腻诲补惫补s were all killed in a drunken brawl between themselves in the very presence of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and Balabhadra. This happened on the shore of Prabh膩sa t墨rtha and 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 was sitting there then in deep meditation. Suddenly the soul of 叠补濒补谤腻尘补 went out from his mouth in the shape of a white serpent and the serpent entering the nether world was given a warm welcome by the prominent serpents there. (Mausala Parva, 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补).
