In the sacred Varaha Purana, the narrative unfolds with the Lord describing the delight one experiences in His world for countless thousands of years. He instructs that the mantra to be used in worship is a profound invocation, addressing all the gods—Brahma, Rudra, Indra, and the Sun—as the primal, unmanifest form arising from existence itself. Those who have established this divine, unmanifest form within themselves are to recite this mantra, particularly during the twilight worship, as part of their spiritual practice. Thus concludes the chapter titled "Description of the Initiation of the Four Classes and Copper" in the glorious Varaha Purana. The story then turns to the subject of expiation for eating the king’s food. Having listened to the teachings about initiation directly from the mouth of Narayana, the Earth, personified as Vasundhara, responds with gratitude, saying, “O greatly fortunate one, I have become pure, O Lord.” She marvels at the greatness of the Lord of the worlds and reveals that she holds a supreme secret in her heart. She acknowledges that both former and later offenses—even thirty-two in number—have been recounted, and asks, “By what action are the doers of offense purified?” Hearing these words, Hrishikesha, the great-minded Lord, replies as Sri Varaha: “Those who eat the king’s food, whether out of greed or fear, or even in distress, O Vasundhara, are touched by fault.” Upon hearing this, Vasundhara trembles and becomes dejected in mind, yet remains steadfast in her vow. She then asks, “What indeed is the fault of kings? Please tell me.” Sri Varaha, the best knower of dharma, explains: “Food belonging to the king must never be consumed by the pious Bhargavas. Even if the king acts impartially in the world, food from the king is still considered blameworthy.” He urges Earth to listen carefully as he reveals the remedy: “Having established me through the prescribed rite, food that remains after being offered to me by the devoted Bhagavatas is pure.” Upon hearing these words of Vishnu, Earth, steadfast in her vow, asks again, “By what act is it purified? Tell me that, O Janardana.” Sri Varaha replies, “Those who partake of the king’s food become purified by performing one Chandrayana and a thorough Taptakricchra penance. There is then no fault for him, O Earth; this is my word, especially if one desires supreme attainment for the sake of my worship here.” Thus ends the chapter entitled “The Expiation for Eating the King’s Food” in the divine Varaha Purana. The narrative continues with the expiation for not chewing a tooth-stick. Sri Varaha declares, “Whoever approaches me without chewing a tooth-stick…” Hearing this, the Earth, devoted to righteousness, asks, “How does everything perish because of a single transgression?” Sri Varaha explains, “A single transgression can destroy previous merit. A human being, O blessed one, afflicted by sin and possessed of phlegm and bile, loses all the seed of merit by eating without chewing a tooth-stick.” The Earth then asks, “Tell me the expiation by which my righteousness is not destroyed.” Sri Varaha responds kindly, “I shall tell you now how humans become purified: by lying on the ground for two and five days.” Thus, the Lord concludes, “O gentle one, I have told you about the eating of tooth-sticks.” In this way, the Varaha Purana faithfully preserves the teachings on purification, the importance of ritual, and the means to atone for faults, offering guidance for those who seek righteousness and divine grace.
