Varaha Purana

यत्प्राप्नोति मृतो वापि पुरुषः संशितव्रतः

Whatever a man of firm vows attains there, whether alive or after death—

स्वच्छन्दगमनो भूत्वा एवमेव न संशयः

He moves about at will, just so, without any doubt.

सर्वसङ्गं परित्यज्य मम लोकं स गच्छति

Abandoning all attachments, he goes to my world.

तत्र धारा पतत्येका एकरूपा सदा भवेत्

There, a single stream always falls, remaining of one form.

सप्तसामुद्रकं नाम तस्मिन्कुब्जाम्रके परम्

There, in that Kubjāmra grove, is the supreme place called Saptasāmudraka.

त्रयाणामश्वमेधानां फलं प्राप्नोति मानवः

A man attains the fruit of three Aśvamedha sacrifices there.

ततः स्वर्गात्परिभ्रष्टः कुलवाञ्जायते द्विजः

Then, having fallen from heaven, a twice-born with lineage is born.

अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान्मुक्तसङ्गो जितेन्द्रियः

Or, here, one who is free from attachment and has mastered the senses departs from life.

तस्य चिह्नं प्रवक्ष्यामि तीर्थस्य शृणु सुन्दरि

I will tell you the mark of that sacred place; listen, O beautiful one.

विमला गाङ्गता यत्र गङ्गाजलविमिश्रितम् 126.

Where the pure Gāṅgatā is found, mingled with the waters of the Ganges.

गंधमाल्योपहार्याणि भक्षयंती यदृच्छया 126.

She eats, as she wishes, offerings of fragrant garlands and flowers.

रमतो धूमकेतोश्च वह्नेश्चैव यथा तथा 126.

Just as Dhūmaketu and Agni delight there, so too—

कुपितो राजपुत्रो वै राजपुत्रीमभाषत 126.

Angered, the prince spoke to the princess.

दर्शनीयः सुरूपश्च राज्ञां योग्यो गृहेषु च ।। 126.

He is handsome, attractive, and worthy of kings and households.

सन्मुखत्वेन च सदा तद्वद्वां याऽभवत्पुरा 126.

And always, by being face-to-face, she became just like him in the past.

ततोऽभवन्मम क्रोधो दृष्ट्वा पातितमग्रतः

Then anger arose in me, seeing him fallen before me.

वधूपुत्रवचः श्रुत्वा कोसलानां जनेश्वरः 126.

Hearing the words of the wife and son, the lord of the people of Kosala—

अवश्यमेव तद्वाक्यं वक्तव्यं मम सन्निधौ 126.

That statement must certainly be spoken in my presence.

ततः पुत्रं प्रहस्याह कुमारं स जनाधिपः वद पुत्र महाभाग पूर्वं पृष्टं मया हि यत् ।। 126.

Then the king, smiling, addressed his son: 'Speak, O fortunate one, what I had previously asked.'

सुवर्णरत्नवस्त्राणि अन्नं चान्यदपेक्षितम् 126.

Gold, jewels, garments, food, and other desired things—

ततस्तीर्थावधिं कृत्वा दत्त्वा दानानि भूरिशः 126.

Then, having set the boundary of the holy place, he gave abundant gifts.

निर्माल्यं तु समासाद्य राजपुत्रो महातपाः 126.

Having obtained the remnants, the royal son, great in austerity—

युध्यमाना तु तेनैव नकुलेन निपातिता 126.

Fighting with him, she was struck down by Nakula.

तेजसां च महत्तेजस्तपसां च महत्तपः 126.

Of the powerful, great energy; of the ascetics, great austerity.

चतुर्भुजश्च जायेत मल्लोकेषु प्रतिष्ठितः मम भक्तसुखार्थाय किमन्यत्परिपृच्छसि

He shall be born with four arms, established among the worlds, for the happiness of my devotees. What else do you ask?

इति श्रीवराहपुराणे भगवच्छास्त्रे कुब्जाम्रक माहात्म्ये रैभ्यानुग्रहणं नाम षड्विंशत्यधिकशततमोऽध्यायः

Thus, in the glorious Varaha Purana, in the scripture of the Lord, in the greatness of Kubjāmra, the chapter named 'The Favor to Raibhya,' the one hundred twenty-sixth chapter.

अथ ब्राह्मणदीक्षासूत्रवर्णनम् एवं धर्मांस्ततः श्रुत्वा बहुमोक्षार्थकारणात्

Now, the description of the Brahmana initiation thread: Having heard thus about dharmas, for the sake of liberation—

अहो प्रभावः क्षेत्रस्य कथ्यमानोऽतिपुष्कलम् .

Ah, the power of this sacred place, being narrated, is exceedingly abundant.

विमोहा च विशुद्धा च शृण्वानाहं त्विमां प्रभो

Both delusion and purity, I hear these, O Lord.
