Balabarhisha is a Yādava, one of the four sons of Andhaka, son of Sattvant. His mother was the daughter of Kāśyapa.

The Brahma Purāṇa tells that Kausalyā bore Sattvant strong sons, among them Andhaka. The daughter of Kāśyapa bore Andhaka four sons: Kukura, Bhajamāna, Sanaka and Balabarhisha. From Kukura came the line of Āhuka, Devaka and Ugrasena.
