Varaha Purana

न्यस्य ज्ञानं च योगं च एकचित्ता भजस्व माम्

Having set aside knowledge and yoga, with a single-pointed mind, worship me.

मच्चित्तः सततं यो मां भजेत नियतव्रतः 142.

He whose mind is always fixed on me, who worships me with steadfast vow,

मया चैव पुरा सृष्टं प्रजार्थेन वसुन्धरे

And indeed, O Earth, I formerly created (all this) for the sake of beings.

एकचित्तं समादाय यदीच्छेत्तु मम प्रियम्

With a single-pointed mind, if one wishes to please me,

पितरस्तस्य हन्यन्ते दश पूर्वा दशापराः

His ancestors, ten before and ten after, are liberated.

त्यक्त्वानङ्गं च मोहं च पित्रर्थाय स्त्रियं व्रजेत्

Abandoning desire and delusion, for the sake of the ancestors, one should approach a wife.

न संस्पृशेत्तृतीयां तु चतुर्थी न कदाचन

He should not touch a third (woman), and never a fourth.

जलस्नानं ततः कुर्यादन्यवस्त्रपरिग्रहम्

Afterwards, he should bathe in water and put on clean garments.

रेतःपाः पितरस्तस्य एवमेतन्न संशयः

His ancestors drink the semen—so it is, without doubt.

तृतीयां वा चतुर्थीं वा तदा स पुरुषोऽधमः

He who acts thus on the third or fourth day is a base man.

ऋतुकाले तु सर्वासां पित्रर्थं भोग इष्यते 142.

At the proper time, enjoyment with all women is permitted for the sake of progeny.

न गच्छति च यः क्रोधान्मोहाद्वा पुरुषाधमः

But the low man who refrains out of anger or delusion does not proceed.

अन्यच्च ते प्रवक्ष्यामि तच्छृणुष्व वसुन्धरे

I will tell you something else, listen to it, O Earth.

कर्मणा यान्ति मत्स्थानं यान्ति मद्गाननिष्ठिताः

By their actions, those devoted to me attain my abode.

ज्ञानं योगं च सांख्यं च नास्ति चित्तव्यपाश्रितम्

Knowledge, yoga, and Sāṃkhya do not exist without reliance upon the mind.

यस्तु भागवतो भूत्वा ऋतुकाले व्यवस्थितः

But he who, becoming a devotee, abides at the proper time—

अथ तत्र चतुर्थे तु दिने प्राप्ते वसुन्धरे

Then, when the fourth day arrives there, O Earth—

ततः स्नानेन कुर्वीत शिरसो मलशोधनम्

Afterwards, one should cleanse the impurities of the head by bathing.

ततो बुद्धिं मनश्चैव समं कृत्वा वसुन्धरे

Then, making the intellect and mind tranquil, O Earth—

तत्र मन्त्रः – आदिर्भवान्गुप्तमनन्तमध्यो रजस्वला देव वयं नमामः 142.

There, the mantra is: 'O goddess, origin, hidden, endless, middle, menstruating, O divine one, we bow to you.'

तत एतेन मन्त्रेण शुद्धा भूमे रजस्वलाः

Then, O Earth, menstruating women are purified by this mantra.

एवं दुष्यति नो देवि नारी वा पुरुषोऽपि वा

Thus, O goddess, neither woman nor man is defiled.

सर्वाण्यनुदिनं भद्रे मम चित्तानुसारिणः

All, every day, O auspicious one, follow my mind.

एकचित्तस्ततो भूत्वा भूमे चेन्द्रियनिग्रहात्

Then, becoming of one mind, O Earth, through restraint of the senses—

एवं कुर्वन्ति ये नित्यं स्त्रियः पुंसो नपुंसकम्

Those who always act thus—women, men, and the neuter—

अद्यापि मां न जानन्ति नराः संसारसंश्रिताः

Even today, men immersed in worldly existence do not know me.

मातापितृसहस्राणि पुत्रदारशतानि च

Thousands of mothers and fathers, and hundreds of sons and wives—

अज्ञानेनावृतो लोको मोहेन च वशीकृतः

The world is veiled by ignorance and is overpowered by delusion.

गच्छत्यन्यत्र माता वै पिता चान्यत्र गच्छति

The mother goes one way, and indeed the father goes another.
