Varaha Purana

अनन्तश्चासि नागानां सर्पाणामसि तक्षकः

You are Ananta among serpents, and among snakes you are Takṣaka.

क्रीडाविक्षेपणश्चासि गृहेषु गृहदेवताः

You are the playful tossing in homes, the household deities within dwellings.

साङ्गस्त्वं विद्युतीनां च वैद्युतानां महाद्युतिः

You are the body of lightning, and among all things electric, you are the greatest brilliance.

श्रद्धासि त्वं च देवेश दोषहन्तासि माधव 113.

You are faith, O Lord of the gods; you are the remover of faults, O Mādhava.

गरुडोऽसि महात्मानं वहसि त्वं परायणः

You are Garuḍa, you bear the great-souled, you are the ultimate refuge.

जयश्च विजयश्चासि गृहेषु गृहदेवताः

You are victory and triumph, the household deities within homes.

भगस्त्वं विषलिङ्गश्च परस्त्वं परमात्मकः

You are Bhaga, you are the sign of poison, you are the supreme, of the nature of the highest self.

मां त्वं मग्नामसि त्रातुं लोकनाथ इहार्हसि

You are worthy, O Lord of the worlds, to rescue me who am sunk.

य इदं पठते स्तोत्रं केशवस्य दृढव्रतः

Whoever, firm in vow, recites this hymn of Keśava—

अपुत्रो लभते पुत्रं दरिद्रो धनमाप्नुयात्

A sonless man obtains a son, a poor man may gain wealth.

उभे सन्ध्ये पठेत्स्तोत्रं माधवस्य महात्मनः

One should recite this hymn to the great-souled Mādhava at both twilights.

एवं तु अक्षरोक्तोऽपि भवेत्तु परिकल्पना

Thus, even if recited letter by letter, it will yield the intended result.

इति श्रीवराहपुराणे विष्णुस्तवनं नाम त्रयोदशाधिकशततमोऽध्यायः

Thus ends the one hundred thirteenth chapter, named 'The Hymn to Viṣṇu,' in the glorious Varāha Purāṇa.

अथ श्रीवराहावतारः संस्तूयमानो भगवान्मुनिभिर्मन्त्रवादिभिः

Then, as the blessed Varāha incarnation, the Lord was praised by sages skilled in mantras.

ततो ध्यानं समास्थाय दिव्यं योग्यं च माधवः

Thereafter, Mādhava entered into divine and proper meditation.

तव देवि प्रियार्थाय भक्त्या यं त्वं व्यवस्थिता

For your sake, O goddess, out of devotion and love, you have remained steadfast.

अहं त्वां धारयिष्यामि सशैलवनकाननाम्

I will support you, along with your mountains, forests, and groves.

एवमाश्वासयित्वा तु वसुधां स च माधवः

Thus comforting the Earth, Mādhava—

षट् सहस्राणि चोच्छ्रायो विस्तारेण पुनस्त्रयः

Six thousand in height, and in breadth, again three.

वामया दंष्ट्रया गृह्य उज्जहार च मेदिनीम्

Seizing the earth with his left tusk, he lifted her up.

नगा विलग्नाः पतिताः केचिद्विज्ञानसंश्रिताः

Some trees, clinging to her, fell, while others remained attached by their roots.

चन्द्रनिर्मलसङ्काशा वराहमुखसंस्थिताः

Resembling the pure radiance of the moon, she rested at the mouth of the Boar.

एवं हि धार्यमाणा सा पृथिवी सागरान्विता 114.

Thus, as he bore her—the earth along with the oceans—

तस्यामेव तु कालस्य परिमाणं युगेषु च

Within her, indeed, is the measure of time and the divisions of the ages.

ततः पृथिव्या देवश्च भगवान्विष्णुरव्ययः

Then, from the earth, the imperishable Lord Viṣṇu, the blessed God, arose.

सा गौः स्तुवति तं चैव पुराणं परमव्ययम्

She, the cow, praised him—the ancient, supreme, and imperishable one.

आधारः कीदृशो देव उपयोगश्च कीदृशः

O God, what is the nature of the support, and what is its proper use?

कीदृशा पश्चिमा संध्या कीदृशी ह्यर्धबाह्यतः

What is the nature of the evening twilight, and what is it when it is half-external?

किन्नु संस्थापने देव आवाहनविसर्जने

O God, what is to be done in the establishment, invocation, and dismissal?
