Nārada, filled with devotion, declared that he would always recite these sacred teachings in Brahmaloka before Brahmā himself. Sumantu, too, would proclaim them among mortals, describing how, after journeying to the eastern mountain, he became as if transformed into a lump of flesh. Though Nārada was sinless, he confessed that, by Brahmā’s grace, he had endured great distress—just as those who worship the deity at the eastern mountain attain the fruits of their devotion. Nārada explained that similarly, by traveling to Mathurā and worshipping at the place of the six Suns, one achieves the desired results. In Mathurā, at midday and at the midday Sun, as well as at sunrise and sunset, reciting the sacred verses brings merit. After bathing in the Krishna-Ganga, one should worship the Sun with diligence. Śrī Varāha then spoke: Mathurā, which grants the fruit of liberation, inspires eagerness for worship of the Sun. Following the procedure taught by Nārada, Sāmba, the son of Jāmbavatī, composed his mind through yoga and stood before the Sun at that auspicious time. Varāha asked to hear, in his presence, how the Sun was pleased by Nārada’s worship. He assured Sāmba, “O hero, as you have praised me, I am always pleased with you.” Then, the Sun appeared before Sāmba, with distinct limbs, manifest as a second Sun. The Sun, joined with Sāmba, instructed him at midday. Whoever bathes and beholds the Sun at midday is freed from all sins. In the evening, standing on the southern bank of the Krishna-Ganga, with a mind purified from all sins, one attains the supreme Brahman. Thus, Sāmba, pleased at midday, from the sky, practiced yoga in two ways and his leprosy was removed. Sāmba, together with the Sun seated in a chariot, worshipped day and night. It is proclaimed that this event will always be new and ever-renewed. Taking refuge at the eastern mountain and on the southern bank of the Yamunā, Sāmba later worshipped at the root place where the Sun sets at the western mountain. In this way, Sāmba established an image of the Sun in Mathurā, O Earth. Thus, the city named Sāmbapura in Mathurā became the lord of the clan. On the seventh day of the month of Māgha, people attain the divine city of Sāmbapura, reaching that peaceful abode which transcends even the solar sphere. The narration called 'Pacification of Sin' destroys even the greatest of sins. Here ends the one hundred seventy-seventh chapter, entitled ‘The Establishment of the Threefold Sūrya by Sāmba,’ in the glorious Varāha Purāṇa. Śrī Varāha continued: For the sake of blessing the twice-born, food of a fierce nature is to be given. On the twelfth day of the bright fortnight of Mārgaśīrṣa, after fasting, maintaining discipline, and purity, one should satisfy the twice-born with excellent meals prepared from one’s own food. Great joy arises for Rāma, whose actions are untainted, and a great festival is to be held for the noble Śatrughna. On the eleventh day, after fasting and bathing at the place called Viśrānti, one should gratify the brāhmaṇas as desired. Freed from all sins, one rejoices together with one’s ancestors. Thus ends the one hundred seventy-eighth chapter, entitled ‘The Pilgrimage to Rāmatīrtha in the Section on the Greatness of Mathurā and the Slaying of Lavaṇa by Śatrughna,’ in the glorious Varāha Purāṇa. Then Earth spoke: A man is born both without fault and with fault. He becomes blameworthy only through the performance of actions. Śrī Varāha added: Eating with a tooth-stick, eating the king’s food... And so, the teachings flowed, guiding mortals in their quest for merit, purification, and liberation, as revealed in the sacred Varāha Purāṇa.
