Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 9 - Chapter 1 - Verse 40
Sanskrit:
अश्मकाद्बालिको जज्ञे य: स्त्रीभि: परिरक्षित: ।नारीकवच इत्युक्तो नि:क्षत्रे मूलकोऽभवत् ॥ ४० ॥
ITRANS:
aśmakād bāliko jajñeyaḥ strībhiḥ parirakṣitaḥnārī-kavaca ity uktoniḥkṣatre mūlako ’bhavat
Translation:
From Aśmaka, Bālika took birth. Because Bālika was surrounded by women and was therefore saved from the anger of Paraśurāma, he was known as Nārīkavaca [“one who is protected by women”]. When Paraśurāma vanquished all the kṣatriyas, Bālika became the progenitor of more kṣatriyas. Therefore he was known as Mūlaka, the root of the kṣatriya dynasty.
