In that sacred place, a man should bathe, observing the five prescribed times of purification. When, having lived according to my path of action, he departs from this life there, he finds the way to my own realm. There is a most secret spot on the eastern side of my field, O beautiful one, where bathing grants the devotee access to my world. To the west of my holy field, five krośas away, lies a place of golden radiance, deep as an emerald, which I myself have fashioned. There, one who performs arduous deeds and is established in the self composed of the five elements attains, O fair-hipped one, the realm of Indra, rejoicing among the gods. And yet, abandoning even Indra’s realm, he ultimately reaches my own world. There, O wide-eyed one, he dwells upon my mountain, Maṇipūra. When his sins have been washed away, O lovely-hipped one, the sacred stream descends to earth. Only those whose sins are cleansed may enter; the impure are barred from entry. There, O goddess, I reside, established in the western direction, and by my power, fruits arise at all times. A devotee—a pure Bhāgavata—devoted to my prescribed actions, should go there at sunrise, O beautiful one, with single-mindedness and abundant resolve. In just five nights on that mountain of mine, he obtains the desired fruit. Then, full of humility, she addressed Nārāyaṇa: “You ought now to declare the etymology of this name.” Śrī Varāha replied: “In the Dvāpara age, O beautiful one, where I shall abide, the immortals, Brahmā and others, and many mantra-knowers, along with Nārada, Asita, and Devala, named me there. Upon the mountain Maṇipūra, they bestowed this name upon me. Thus, O auspicious one, I have revealed the etymology to you. I have also described the greatness of this praised mountain. These are my secret matters, O Earth, on that mountain of beings. Thus, O auspicious one, I have told you this—the foundation of all dharmas.” Thus concludes the one hundred and forty-eighth chapter, named “The Greatness of the Praised Lord,” in the holy Varāha Purāṇa, the scripture of the Blessed One. Now begins the account of the greatness of Dvārakā. Having heard of the greatness of the praised Lord, those devoted to dharma were filled with peace. Dharaṇī said: “Supreme and unsurpassed peace has arisen in my mind. He who wields the sword with a sharp edge, who destroys the enemies of the gods, is the supporter of the earth. Thus have I heard, in this way, the virtues and greatness of the praised Lord.” Śrī Varāha said: “I shall tell you another secret, which removes the fear of sin. When the Dvāpara age arrived, the foremost of the Yādavas established a city, renowned as Dvārakā. It measured five yojanas in width and ten yojanas in length. Having removed the burden of the earth, he became greatly beloved by the gods. O beautiful one, there will be a lord in Dvārakā, equal to me, O Varārohe.
