When a person, with unwavering concentration, perceives the essence of Soma residing within his own body and beholds it risen upon his forehead, he is liberated from the burden of his sins. All impurities—whether committed through thought, word, or deed—are washed away. There is freedom from the transgressions of speech and mind; the individual thus destroys all his misdeeds. Indeed, whoever meditates upon the imperishable attains release from sin. As the gentle moon completes its circumambulation, it too becomes pure, just as it does in the clarity of autumn. O sage, when one beholds the pure moon situated at the hips, and meditates upon the moist moon while performing moist deeds—reciting the sacred mantra of eight hundred syllables—both the full and spotless moons shine forth with their own brilliance. Furthermore, having witnessed the dwarf Brahmin and the Varaha who arose from the cosmic waters, one should bow in reverence. Especially he who partakes of milk is freed from sin. Thus concludes the chapter describing the means for the destruction of sin in the endless cycle of samsara, as taught in the Divine Scripture of the Varaha Purana. Once more, the means for the destruction of sin are described. Having heard these auspicious teachings from Dharmaraja, Narada, filled with devotion, spoke: “O Dharmaraja, mighty-armed, whose valor is like that of the ancestors, for the welfare of the Brahmins, you have spoken to me regarding the sacred act of circumambulation. O fortunate one, the three castes partake equally in sacrifice. Just as you, bestower of honor, are impartial to all beings, so too should beneficial words and actions be extended even to the Śūdras. I shall now declare what is always proper for all four classes. That which is beneficial and in accord with righteousness must always be practiced, O steadfast one. Listen, for I will proclaim that which destroys sin. Whoever listens to these words with devotion is freed from sin. At that very moment, he is released from all the transgressions committed throughout his life. Having gained the merit of all holy bathing places, he is cleansed of his sins, and swiftly burns away all faults arising from sinful deeds—there can be no doubt. He who receives these teachings with a bowed head is freed from sin. He who worships with a pure heart is freed from sin—indeed, worship offered with a pure heart brings liberation. For such a person, the sun becomes gracious, and all that is inauspicious is swept away. Consider the curd mixed with milk, placed in a vessel of udumbara wood—Arundhatī, Budha, and all the great sages are invoked. He who, with one-pointed mind and joined palms, offers worship; he who serves a twice-born after satisfying him with great devotion; and the man who, pure in heart, gives milk at the times of solstice and conjunction—all these are freed from sin. Having arranged darbha grass to point eastward and set up a bull, the man should turn to the right, with the river flowing eastward on his left, and hold water in his hand with a right-turning conch. In doing so, the sin incurred at birth is destroyed at that very moment. After bathing, a man should then offer seven handfuls mixed with black sesame seeds. Thus, the means for the destruction of sin are revealed, bringing liberation and auspiciousness to all who practice them with faith and purity.
