Varaha Purana

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.

पुनः पृच्छामि ते देव संशयं धर्मसंहितम्

Again I ask you, O God, a question related to dharma.

एतन्मे परमं गुह्यं परं कौतूहलं च मे

This is my highest secret, and it is my greatest curiosity.

ततो महीवचः श्रुत्वा मेघदुन्दुभिनिःस्वनः

Then, hearing the words of the earth, like the sound of thunderclouds—

श्रीवराह उवाच देवा एतन्न जानन्ति ये च योगव्रते स्थिता

Śrī Varāha spoke: 'The gods do not know this, nor those established in the discipline of yoga.'

एतं धर्मं वरारोहे मङ्गल्यं मुखनिःसृतम्

O beautiful one, this is the righteous practice, auspicious and spoken from my mouth.

यच्च पृच्छसि मे भद्रे दीक्षां भागवतीं कथाम्

And what you ask of me, O fortunate lady, is the initiation and the divine teaching.

मयोक्तां लभते कश्चिद्दीक्षां चैव सुखावहाम् 127.

Whoever receives the initiation I have described attains happiness.

हरन्ति मनुजा येन गर्भसंसारसागरात्

By which people are delivered from the ocean of worldly existence and birth.

अभिगच्छेद्गुरुं देवि शाधि शिष्योऽस्मि मां गुरो

Approach the teacher, O goddess, instruct me, for I am your disciple, O guru.

लाजा मधु कुशाश्चैव घृतं चामृतसन्निभम्

Offerings of roasted grains, honey, sacred grass, and clarified butter like nectar.
