Listen, O seeker, to the sacred tale as revealed in the Varāha Purāṇa, where the Divine Boar speaks to the Earth with warmth and wisdom. There once was a mighty being who, though born as a human, conquered the entire assembly of gods through his own extraordinary power. For nine thousand nine hundred years, he remained free, able to go as he wished, yet ultimately fell from the abode of Kubera. As he danced, the Earth listened, and the Lord spoke of the path by which a man, cutting the bonds of worldly existence, may ascend. The reward for devotion to Varāha’s actions is immense: thirty thousand years, and thirty hundred years more, O fair-hipped one, are granted to the steadfast devotee. Such a soul is born again as a devotee of the Lord, freed from the ties of worldly life. Upon attaining Jambudvīpa, he is born as a king of kings, always devoted to Varāha’s actions and path. Whoever follows Varāha’s way—performing abundant deeds—will reach the Lord’s world. For the happiness of his devotees and their liberation from all worldly existence, this being delivers ten ancestors before and ten after, freeing them as well. If one recites these Bhāgavata texts, liberation is surely attained. Those who desire success, welfare, auspiciousness, and what is dear to Varāha must never recite this chapter with the intention of criticizing scripture. Thus concludes the one hundred and thirty-ninth chapter, "The Greatness of the Boar," within the divine Varāha Purāṇa, in the dialogue between the outcaste and the Brahma-rākṣasa. Now begins the tale of Kokāmukha, the greatness of Badarī. The holy places have been described, but the Earth asks: "What is that supreme place where you reside in form and image?" Varāha replies, "Hear now of the places where I dwell, as I describe them. The place called Kokāmukha, which I mentioned before, is Lohārgala, frequented by the king of the mlecchas. Behold, along with its sanctuaries, my abode encompasses the entire world—both moving and unmoving. But those who truly know me, O Goddess, and understand the secret path of my desire, are blessed indeed." The Earth, eager to learn, asks, "How is that excellent Kokāmukha? Please tell me." Varāha responds, "There is no place superior to Kokāmukha, nor is there anything dearer to me. Whoever visits Kokāmukha and then turns back again should know: of all the sacred places you have asked about, O Earth, none has ever been, nor will ever be, equal to Kokāmukha. My supreme form remains concealed there, unknown to most." Varāha continues, "That delightful Kokāmukha, which I am describing to you, O sinless one, lies near the mountain called Jalabindu, from the city upon the earth. One who abandons all attachments there attains my world. From the mountain to the earth, a stream descends like a pestle. Whoever approaches Kokāmukha gains the fruit of a thousand Agniṣṭoma sacrifices, remains unwavering in his duties, and attains the highest reward. He is born in a vast and pure place, always following my path. He beholds my supreme form—of this, there is no doubt. No one knows this, O Earth, for it is protected by Varāha." Such a devotee is born on the island of Kraunca, wholly devoted to Varāha’s worship. Abandoning all attachments, he ultimately goes to the Lord’s world. Thus, the greatness of Kokāmukha is revealed, along with the profound rewards of devotion to Varāha, as spoken in the sacred Purāṇa.
