A sonless man may gain a son, and one who is poor may come into wealth—such are the blessings bestowed upon those who recite this sacred hymn to the great-souled Mādhava at both morning and evening twilights. Even if the hymn is recited slowly, letter by letter, it will surely grant the desired results. Thus concludes the one hundred thirteenth chapter, known as "The Hymn to Viṣṇu," in the glorious Varāha Purāṇa. After this, as the blessed Varāha incarnation, the Lord was praised by the sages, well-versed in mantras. Thereafter, Mādhava entered into divine and proper meditation. Addressing the Earth, he spoke with devotion and love, acknowledging her steadfastness for his sake. He assured her, "I will support you, along with your mountains, forests, and groves." Thus, comforting the Earth, Mādhava—whose form was six thousand units in height and three in breadth—lifted her up with his left tusk. As he raised her, some trees clung to her and fell, while others remained attached by their roots. The Earth, radiant like the pure light of the moon, rested at the mouth of the Boar. Bearing the Earth—together with her oceans—upon himself, he carried within her the very measure of time and the divisions of the ages. Then, from the Earth, the imperishable Lord Viṣṇu, the blessed God, arose. The Earth, in the form of a cow, praised him, recognizing him as the ancient, supreme, and imperishable one. She addressed the Lord with deep reverence, asking, "O God, what is the true nature of support, and what is its proper use? What is the essence of the evening twilight, and how is it when it is half-external? What should be done during the establishment, invocation, and dismissal of your presence? How should one offer water for washing the feet, and what are the proper acts of bathing and anointing? What is prescribed regarding the seat and the bed, and what other actions should be performed? What merit arises at the evening and morning twilights, and what is its true nature? What acts are appropriate in spring, and what should be done in summer? Which flowers and fruits are to be enjoyed in these seasons? By what act does the devotee reach the Mādhava period? What is the proper measure for your image, and what is the correct way to install it? How are yellow, white, or red garments to be offered to you? "With which substances should the madhuparka offering be made? To which worlds do those go who partake of madhuparka? In what measure should madhuparka, properly prepared, be given? Is it appropriate to perform this act, following scriptural injunctions, even in marketplaces? By what ritual formula should the madhuparka be offered to you? What acts should one perform after a devotee has eaten your food? Who here partakes of that supreme, all-purifying offering? "O Lord, what is the destiny of those who follow your path? What becomes of those who practice devotion to you, who, having performed austerities and penances, approach Mādhava? What destination do those attain who are devoted to your actions? O Krishna, what is the destiny of those who are steadfast in devotion to you? And finally, what destination do those attain who follow your prescribed actions?" Thus, with humility and longing for knowledge, the Earth herself, uplifted and comforted by the Lord, sought to understand the ways of worship, the merit of devotion, and the ultimate destiny of the devoted souls.
