BALARĀMA . This god is not often regarded as an avatār of Vishnu, but rather as an incarnation of the great ser- pent Ananta; hence he is sometimes called
शेषः or अनन्तः. He was the son of Vasudeva by Devakī, but was trans- ferred from the latter to the womb of Rohiṇī, the other wife of Vasudeva, and hence his name, सङ्कर्षणः. Other names for him are —
(Fond of wine) प्रियमधुःm. — (Killer of the boxer Muṣṭika) मुष्टिकान्तकः. —
(Secret in motion) गुप्तचरः. —
(Strong and good) बलभद्रः.
