As the tale unfolds, it is said that the leaves of all trees fall, sometimes in great abundance, marking the changing of the seasons. Yet, on the eastern side, there stands a magnificent tree, shining beautifully in its glory. This great tree spreads its branches far and wide, covering a distance of five krośas. Everywhere beneath its canopy, there is an abundance of water teeming with fish, and the tree itself is laden with countless fruits. Here, a man is enjoined to perform ablution after fasting eight times, a sacred act within this hallowed space. “Listen, O noble lady,” the speaker says, “to the wonder I am about to tell you.” At midday, the tree becomes full again, and at midnight, it remains unchanged, its splendor constant. On the western side stands the bilva tree, another mighty presence. Those who perform auspicious deeds are able to see these wonders, but those who act with evil intent are denied this vision. Whoever finds a flower here, following the prescribed path, enters a field known as the supreme crossing of Vishnu. Nearby, there is a pond named after the mountain Maṇipūra. Whoever leaves the world of the sun behind and enters this realm is honored in the speaker’s own world. This realm is difficult for sinners to behold, but easily seen by the virtuous. On the twenty-fourth Dvādaśī, at midday, when the sun is at its zenith, the presence here is high, vast, delightful, and cool. Those who come here attain supreme perfection, beyond all doubt. On the shore of the ocean, this being receives the love of all devotees of the Lord. “We three,” says the speaker, “remain there in glorious Dvārakā.” This sacred city extends thirty yojanas in breadth, and ten yojanas in all directions. In but a short time, those who approach it attain the highest state. Of all dharmas, this is the supreme; of all splendors, this is the highest. Of all the Vedas, this is the most excellent; of all austerities, this is the highest. Whoever desires supreme perfection comes to this world, and by his merit, seven generations of his family are carried across. With proper worship, what more could one ask? Thus concludes the chapter entitled "The Glory of Dvārakā" in the holy Varāha Purāṇa. Now begins the account of the greatness of Sānandūra. Having heard the well-spoken tale of Dvārakā’s glory, the Earth herself speaks: “Having heard of this supreme merit, I have attained the highest prosperity. O Lord of the worlds, Janārdana, if there is anything even more secret than this, tell me.” Hearing these words, Viṣṇu, the lotus-eyed one, responds. Śrī Varāha says: “To the north of the ocean and south of the Malaya mountains, I reside, O Earth, established facing the northern direction. Some call it iron, others say it is made of copper, and still others claim it is stone, of a wondrous and marvelous form.” There, humans are freed who have crossed the ocean of worldly existence. At midday, when the sun is at its height, a golden lotus is seen. “Listen to another wonder: whatever turns around there, though standing in the midst of the ocean, is unseen by ordinary eyes. Yet my devotees, present through their own actions, do indeed see it.” Thus, the sacred narrative reveals the glories of Dvārakā and Sānandūra, the places where the Lord’s presence shines for the virtuous, offering liberation and supreme perfection to all who follow the path of dharma.
