इदानीं कार्त्तिकी चेयं वर्त्तते च नराधिप
Now, O lord of men, this Kārtikī is present.
देवदानवयक्षैस्तु युक्तमेतत्सदा विभो
This is always appropriate, O mighty one, for gods, demons, and yakṣas.
सरत्नं पुरुषः कृत्वा कार्त्तिक्यां द्वादशी दिने 112.
A man, having gathered all jewels, on the twelfth day of Kārtikī,
पुरोहिताय गुरवे दद्याद्भक्तिसमन्वितः
Should give them to the family priest or teacher, filled with devotion.
तानि दत्तानि तेन स्युः समासात्कथितं तव
Those gifts given by him become, as I have briefly told you,
सैकदेशो यजेत्तस्य ब्रह्माण्डस्य विशेषतः
He should especially sacrifice a portion of that brahmanda.
तेन चेष्टं हुतं दत्तं पठितं कीर्त्तितं भवेत्
By that, whatever is performed, offered, given, recited, or praised, becomes so.
ब्रह्माण्डमृषये प्रादात्सविधानं च तत्क्षणात्
He gave the brahmanda to the sage, with all the proper rites, at that very moment.
तस्मात्त्वमपि राजेन्द्र तद्दत्त्वा तु सुखी भव
Therefore, O king of kings, you too, having given that, be happy.
जगाम परमां सिद्धिं यत्र गत्वा न शोचति इयं ते कथिता देवि संहिता सर्वकामिका
He attained the highest perfection, where, having gone, one does not grieve. This, O goddess, is the compendium of all desires, told to you.
वराहाख्या वरारोहे सर्वपातकनाशिनी
The Varaha scripture, renowned as Vararohi, destroys all sins.
ब्रह्मा स्वसूनवे प्रादात्पुलस्त्याय महात्मने
Brahma gave it to his own son, Pulastya, the great-souled.
असावपि स्वशिष्याय प्रादादुग्राय धारिणि 112.
He too gave it to his disciple, Ugra, the steadfast.
सम्बन्धः पूर्वकल्पीयो द्वितीयं शृणु साम्प्रतम्
The connection is from a previous cycle; now hear the second.
त्वत्तश्च तपसा सिद्धा वेत्स्यन्ते कपिलादयः
Through your asceticism, Kapila and others will attain perfection and knowledge.
तस्यापि शिष्यो भविता नाम्ना वै रोमहर्षणिः
His disciple will be Romaharshana by name.
अष्टादश पुराणानि वेद द्वैपायनो गुरुः
The teacher Dvaipayana divided the eighteen Purāṇas and the Veda.
तथान्यं नारदीयं च मार्कण्डेयं च सप्तमम्
Likewise, the Nārada Purāṇa and the seventh, the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa.
दशमं ब्रह्मवैवर्त्त लैङ्गमेकादशं स्मृतम्
The tenth is Brahmavaivarta; the eleventh is known as the Linga Purāṇa.
चतुर्दशं वामनकं कौर्मं पंचदशं स्मृतम्
The fourteenth is the Vāmana Purāṇa; the fifteenth is known as the Kurma Purāṇa.
य एतत्पाठयेद्भक्त्या कार्तिक्यां द्वादशीदिने
Whoever recites this with devotion on the twelfth day of Kartika,
यस्येदं तिष्ठते गेहे लिखितं पूज्यते सदा
In whose house this is kept written and always honored,
यश्चैतच्छृणुयाद्भक्त्या नैरन्तर्येण मानवः 112.
And whoever hears this with uninterrupted devotion,
श्रुत्वा तु पूजयेच्छास्त्रं तथा विष्णुं सनातनम्
Having heard, one should worship the scripture and likewise eternal Vishnu.
यथाशक्त्या नृपो ग्रामैः पूजयेद्वत्सकं धरे
According to his ability, the king should worship the calf with the villages.
इति श्रीवराहपुराणे श्वेतविनीताश्वोपाख्याने उभयतोमुखीगोदान हेमकुम्भदान पुराणप्रशंसनंनाम द्वादशाधिकशततमोऽध्यायः
Thus, in the glorious Varaha Purāṇa, in the tale of Śveta and Vinītāśva, the chapter named 'Praise of Purāṇa, Gift of Cow from Both Sides, Gift of Golden Pot' is the one hundred and twelfth.
अथ भगवत्स्तुतिः
Now begins the praise of the Blessed Lord.
नमस्तस्मै वराहाय लीलयोद्धरते महीम्
Salutations to that Varaha, who playfully raised up the earth.
दंष्ट्राग्रेणोद्धृता गोरुदधिपरिवृता पर्वतैर्निम्नगाभिर्भक्तानां भीतिहानौ सुरनरकदशास्यान्तकः क्रोडरूपी
With the tip of his tusk, surrounded by mountains and rivers, he lifted up the earth, encircled by serpents; for the sake of removing the fear of his devotees, the boar-formed one, destroyer of the ten-headed demon, did this.
यस्मिन्काले क्षितिः पूर्वकल्पे वाराह मूर्तिना
At that time, in the previous cycle, the earth was rescued by the Boar incarnation.
