Having taken the earth, the sacred waters settled upon it, O noble-faced one. Angiras, the great sage, departed to his own world, enjoying unending happiness. Leaving behind the world of Agni, he attained my own realm. There, a single stream descends, resting upon the snowy peak. When he reached the world of Bṛhaspati, Angiras was delighted by the daughters of the sage. Yet, he too attained supreme perfection, leaving Bṛhaspati behind. Again, a single stream falls, visible from the snowy abode. Upon reaching Bṛhaspati’s world once more, he was enchanted by the sage’s daughters. Then, devoted to my deeds, he relinquished his life there. The pool of Kārttikeya is a secret, supreme field of mine. There, a man should bathe after dwelling for six days. Then, having performed the Cāndrāyaṇa rite and being pure, he relinquishes his life at that place. It is known as Umā’s pool, the supreme field of mine. There, one should bathe after dwelling for ten nights. After this period, a man relinquishes his life. There is also the pool of Maheśvara, where Umā was led in marriage. Three streams descend here, originating from the Himalaya mountains. At this place, a man who has observed a twelve-day vow should bathe. Then, if one gives up life here after performing a most difficult act, he attains the highest. This is the renowned Brahma-kunda, where the Vedas arose. From the eastern side, an auspicious stream of equal measure falls. Again, on its northern side, there is one resembling gold. Then, on the western side, there is one associated with the Yajur Veda. Another stream falls here, resembling the color of the indragopa insect. Reaching the world of Brahma, one rejoices there together with Brahma. A mortal who desires success must go to this place—of this there is no doubt. For him, no action remains, even if he stays thus. The purest of the pure should not be given to just anyone. Ten generations of both paternal and maternal lineages are liberated. If one desires the highest attainment, the liberation from all worldly existence, O lotus-eyed one, this greatness is secret and most powerful. Thus ends the one hundred and fifty-first chapter, entitled "The Greatness of Lohargala," in the holy Varaha Purana. Now begins the praise of the sacred place Mathura. Having heard of the greatness of the god, the residents of Lohargala were filled with reverence. The Earth spoke: "By your grace, O Lord of gods, this most powerful scripture has been heard. I am your disciple and your servant, and I have come to you for refuge. By your favor, O Lord, I have become radiant like gold. For the creator of the world, there is no fatigue in establishing the laws of the universe. Having accomplished this, O Lord, joy fills my heart. Tell me, then, of that auspicious and most excellent of holy places." Śrī Varāha replied: "O Earth, Mathurā is equally dear to me.
