Rama, the illustrious lord of Ayodhya, vanquished the foremost among the Rakshasas, bringing peace to the land. After this victory, Vibhishana was consecrated as the ruler of Lanka, ensuring just governance among the Rakshasas. At this time, Sri Rama made a request: "Bring me the deity, the Rakshasa who has come today from the world of Indra." Day after day, Rama worshipped the god in the form of Varaha, honoring the divine presence. Then, Rama offered Kapila, who possessed a divine form. Establishing Kapila in Ayodhya, Rama worshipped him with reverence. Soon after, for the purpose of defeating Lavana, Rama sent his brother Shatrughna. Shatrughna, accompanied by a mighty fourfold army, marched towards Mathura. There, he slew Lavana and entered the city triumphantly. In Mathura, twenty-six thousand Brahmins, accomplished in the Vedas and Vedangas, gathered. It was said that feeding one Brahmin was equivalent to feeding a crore, such was their spiritual merit. When news of Lavana's death reached Rama, also known as Raghava, he spoke words of guidance. Hearing these words, Shatrughna responded, requesting, "Grant me this deity, if you are indeed a giver of boons to me." Rama replied, "Take, O Shatrughna, the divine god in the form of Varaha." Blessed were the people of Mathura, who could always behold Kapila. Shatrughna, being anointed, removed all sin from himself and others. He destroyed all sin and granted liberation to those who sought it. Taking the deity, Shatrughna journeyed to the city of Mathura. There, in the center of the city, Raghava installed and worshipped the deity. The fruit obtained by offering oblations at Gaya, or at Jyeshtha Pushkara, at Vishranti, at Govinda, and at Hari—such merit is found in these holy places. At sunrise, Rama's radiance is always present at Vishranti; at Keshava, his radiance is present in the fourth part of the day. This knowledge, O goddess, is ancient; Rama's father is ever virtuous. Thus concludes the chapter called "The Greatness of Kapila Varaha," within the section on the glory of Mathura in the sacred Varaha Purana. Now begins the account of the greatness of circumambulating Annakuta. There is a place called Govardhana, supremely difficult to attain. There, a lake abounds, filled with trees, bushes, and creepers. To the east lies the Indra lake, and to the south is the Yama tirtha. "O blessed one," the Lord says, "I will play at will, dwelling among them." One who visits these sacred places rejoices in the world of Indra, free from all dualities. Going to the abode of Yama, he rejoices, his resolve accomplished; there, reaching the Varuna tirtha, he should bathe. Upon entering the abode of Varuna, he is freed from all sins. Leaving the world of Varuna, he goes to my world. Or, if he gives up his life here, he goes to my world. There is no return for him, O goddess; I speak the truth to you. Having circumambulated Annakuta, why should he grieve again? By offering the rice-ball to the ancestors, one attains the fruit of the Rājasūya sacrifice. That result is obtained there; there is no need for any further deliberation about this. One certainly attains the fruit of the Rājasūya and Aśvamedha sacrifices. The Earth then spoke: "You ought to speak of its power, qualities, and greatness.
