श्वशुरस्य वचः श्रुत्वा जामाता वाक्यमब्रवीत्
Hearing the words of his father-in-law, the son-in-law spoke.
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा ब्राह्मणः संशितव्रतः
Upon hearing those words, the Brahmin, firm in his vows, responded.
नान्यत्र तव संशुद्धिः कदाचित्पितृघातिनः
Nowhere else is your purification possible, O slayer of a father.
ततः कालेन महता सम्प्राप्तो मथुरां पुरीम्
Then, after a long time, he arrived at the city of Mathura.
कन्यापुरनिवासी तु कुशिकोऽयं नराधिपः
This Kuśika, the king, dwells in the city of Kanyāpura.
द्वेसहस्रे तु विप्राणां तस्य सत्रे च भुञ्जते
Two thousand Brahmins partake in his sacrifice.
ततः कालेन महता चिन्ताभूच्छ्वशुरस्य च 162.
Then, after a long time, worry arose in the mind of the father-in-law.
स्वां सुतां चोदयामास गच्छ तां मथुरां पुरीम्
He urged his own daughter: 'Go to that city of Mathura.'
दिव्यज्ञानेन च तदा नित्यं सा भर्तृसन्निधौ
Then, by divine knowledge, she was always present with her husband.
दिवसस्यावसाने तु भोजनं गृह्य गच्छति
At the end of the day, she takes food and departs.
पात्रं निःक्षिप्य कुण्डे तु सत्रे वसति सर्वदा
Placing the vessel in the pit, she always resides at the sacrifice.
ततः कालेन महता तैः पृष्टः स द्विजोत्तमः
Then, after a long time, those Brahmins questioned that foremost of twice-born.
कथयामास वृत्तान्तं तं सर्वं चात्मनो हि सः
He narrated the entire account of himself.
इदमूचुस्ततो विप्राः शुद्रोऽसीति द्विजं प्रति
Then the Brahmins said to him: 'You are a Shudra.'
अस्माकं वदनाच्चैव पुनः सिद्धोऽसि वै द्विज
But by our declaration, you are again established as a Brahmin.
स्नानार्थं तु ततः स्थानाच्चक्रतीर्थं समागतः
Then, for the purpose of bathing, he went to the place called Chakratirtha.
सा तु हृष्टेन मनसा भर्तारं वाक्यमब्रवीत् 162.
With a joyful heart, she spoke these words to her husband.
प्रियावचनमाकर्ण्य भर्ता वचनमब्रवीत्
Hearing her loving words, the husband replied.
भर्त्तुर्वचनमाकर्ण्य पत्नी वचनमब्रवीत्
Hearing her husband's words, the wife spoke again.
चक्रतीर्थप्रभावेण मुक्तोऽसि द्विजसत्तम
By the power of Cakra Tirtha, you are freed, O best of twice-born.
तया सार्द्धं जगामाथ कल्पग्रामं द्विजोत्तमः
Then, together with her, the excellent brahmin went to Kalpagrama.
नित्यं च भुञ्जते यत्र पात्रं द्रव्यसमर्पितम्
There, those to whom offerings are given always partake of the food.
कल्पग्रामाच्छतगुणं चक्रतीर्थं वसुन्धरे
O Earth, Cakra Tirtha surpasses Kalpagrama a hundredfold.
कल्पग्रामेण किं तस्य वाराणस्यां च वा शुभे
What is Kalpagrama to him, or even Varanasi, O auspicious one?
अपि कीटः पतङ्गो वा जायते स चतुर्भुजः
Even if one is born as a worm or an insect there, he attains a four-armed form.
इति श्रीवराहपुराणे मथुरामाहात्म्ये चक्रतीर्थप्रभावो नाम द्विषष्टयधिकशततमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the one hundred sixty-second chapter, named 'The Glory of Cakra Tirtha,' in the section on the greatness of Mathura, in the glorious Varaha Purana.
अथ कपिलवराहमाहात्म्यम् पुनरन्यत्प्रवक्ष्यामि तच्छृणुष्व वसुन्धरे
Now, O Earth, I will again tell you another account—the greatness of Kapila Varaha; listen to it.
मिथिलायां पुरी रम्या जनकेन च पालिता
In Mithila, the beautiful city, ruled by Janaka,
ब्राह्मणाः क्षत्रिया वैश्याः शूद्राश्चापि वसुन्धरे
O Earth, there were brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas, and also shudras.
तेषां च भक्तिरुत्पन्ना मथुरां प्रति सुन्दरि
Among them, O beautiful one, devotion arose toward Mathura.
