As the two hundred and fourth chapter of the Varāha Purāṇa concludes—the tale of the messenger sent in the cycle of saṃsāra—a new discourse unfolds. The ancient speaker now turns to the gathered brāhmaṇas and invites them to listen to the description of the results of good and bad deeds. He proclaims, “Let this one of yours be released, O kings of the earth. Let him ascend to heaven. May this serpent swiftly attain the highest state. For those who suffer, who weep, and who speak repeatedly in distress; for those who have abandoned their wives, who are unrighteous, and deprived of sons and grandsons; let all these souls be released—both those who have passed and those yet to come.” He continues, “In both prosperity and adversity, those who uphold all dharmas will find themselves, in heaven, resting on the lap of a supremely beautiful and righteous woman. Their residence will be free from suffering and inexhaustible. One who dies for the sake of a brāhmaṇa, for cows, or for the kingdom, will become a celestial being and dwell there for a whole kalpa. Those who are ever devoted to abundant charity and compassionate toward all beings are to be worshiped as great souls, as I have ordained. Let them abandon the realm of the departed and ascend to heaven.” With vivid imagery, he describes the blessed one’s ascent: “With the sound of conches and drums, and with victory resounding, let this fortunate soul go to Indra’s domain, which is difficult to attain. Indra awaits him there, surrounded by virtues numbering in the hundreds. He will rejoice in heaven for as long as his merit endures.” The speaker extols the merits of giving: “He who gives a jewel-adorned flute, adorned with all virtues, let this highly fortunate one go to the eternal Lord of gods. With all his power united, he has provided for the twice-born. By him, the delightful Rudra realms will endure for an age. He has given to the twice-born, led by honey and sugar—a young, auspicious cow, full of milk and adorned with gold. I have seen his record: three crore years in heaven. Let the giver of gold be announced to the gods. There, this great-souled one will obtain whatever he desires. Let him go together with his ancestors, by whom his forebears have been satisfied. This blessed one, intent on the welfare of all beings, desires great things. Let this giver of land to the twice-born now ascend to heaven. Honored with various enjoyments of desire, this best of men will be rewarded.” Thus concludes the two hundred and fifth chapter, entitled ‘The Description of the Fruits of Good and Evil Deeds in the Cycle of Existence,’ in the blessed Varāha Purāṇa. Now begins the section on the rise of the fruits of virtuous deeds, as spoken by Chitragupta. The message is clear: “This one, who welcomes all guests, is self-controlled, and compassionate to all beings—release him, release him, O great servant; this is the judgment of righteousness. The wicked, deformed by sin, shall remain at my side. Let a divine seat be given to the virtuous one, and likewise other vehicles; whatever desires he wishes in his mind, let those also be granted. All this must be given quickly, by the command of the Lord of Dharma. Let this highly fortunate one, along with his retinue, behold and enjoy.” Thus, the narrative unfolds, revealing the rewards and consequences that await souls in accordance with their deeds, and the divine justice that guides them on their journey through the cycle of existence.
