Varaha Purana

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.

जायन्ते चात्मनः स्थाने स्वस्वकर्मसमुद्भवे 142.

Beings are born in their own places, arising from their respective actions.

अल्पकालपरं चैव माससंवत्सरेति च

And indeed, it is only for a short time—be it a month or a year.

यस्यैतद्विदितं सर्वं न्यासयोगं वसुन्धरे

O Earth, for whom all this is known—the entire discipline of renunciation—

य एतच्छृणुयान्नित्यं कल्यमुत्थाय मानवः

Whoever, rising early, listens to this daily, O human—

एतत्ते कथितं भद्रे रहस्यं परमं महत्

This, O blessed one, is the supreme and great secret that has been told to you.

इति श्रीवराहपुराणे भगवच्छास्त्रे गुह्यकर्ममाहात्म्यवर्णनं नाम द्वाचत्वारिंशदधिकशततमोऽध्यायः

Thus, in the Śrī Varāha Purāṇa, in the divine scripture, is the one hundred forty-second chapter entitled 'The Greatness of Secret Rites.'

अथ मन्दारमहिमनिरूपणम् पुनरन्यत्प्रवक्ष्यामि एकान्तं शृणु सुन्दरि

Now, I will again describe the glory of Mandāra; listen attentively, O beautiful one, to this other account.

जाह्नव्या दक्षिणे कूले विन्ध्यपृष्ठसमाश्रितम्

On the southern bank of the Jāhnavī, situated on the slope of the Vindhya,

तत्र त्रेतायुगे भूमे रामो नाम महाद्युतिः

There, in the Tretā Yuga, O Earth, was Rāma by name, of great splendor.

नारायणमुखाच्छ्रुत्वा धर्मकामा वसुन्धरा

Having heard from the mouth of Nārāyaṇa, O Earth, desirous of righteousness,
