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.
तेषां तु ब्राह्मणः कश्चिद्ब्रह्महत्यासु चिह्नितः
Among them, there was a certain brahmin marked by the sin of brahmahatya.
प्रत्यक्षा दृश्यते सर्वैर्ब्रह्महत्यास्वरूपिणी
The embodiment of brahmahatya was visibly seen by all.
न गता पूर्वमेवासीद्वैकुण्ठे स्नानमाचरत्
He had not gone before; he performed ablution at Vaikuntha.
किमेतत्किमिति प्राहुर्धारा प्रति वसुन्धरे
O Earth, they asked, 'What is this? What is this?'
केन कारणदोषेण धारा त्यक्त्वा गता द्विजम्
By what fault or cause did the stream abandon the twice-born and depart?
वैकुण्ठे तु निमग्नोऽयं ब्रह्महत्या गता ततः १६३.
When he was immersed in Vaikuṇṭha, then the sin of killing a Brahmin departed from him.
इत्युक्तस्तैर्देवदेवस्तत्रैवान्तरधीयत
Thus addressed by them, the Lord of the gods vanished there itself.
वैकुण्ठतीर्थे यः स्नाति मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः
Whoever bathes at the Vaikuṇṭha tīrtha is freed from all sins.
सूत उवाच नाम्ना गन्धर्वकुण्डं तु तीर्थानां तीर्थमुत्तमम्
Sūta said: By name, Gandharva-kuṇḍa is the foremost of all holy places.
तत्र स्नातो नरो देवि गन्धर्वैः सह मोदते
O Devi, a man who bathes there rejoices together with the Gandharvas.
विंशतिर्योजनानां तु माथुरं मम मण्डलम्
My region of Mathurā extends for twenty yojanas.
कर्णिकायां स्थितो देवि केशवः क्लेशनाशनः
O Devi, Keśava, the remover of suffering, abides at the center.
तत्र मध्ये मृता ये तु तेषां मुक्तिर्वसुन्धरे
O Vasundharā, those who die in the middle there attain liberation.
दृष्ट्वा तं देवदेवेशं किं मनः परितप्यते
Having seen that Lord of gods, why should the mind feel sorrow?
नासौ पतति संसारे यावदाभूतसंप्लवम्
He does not fall into worldly existence until the great dissolution.
यं दृष्ट्वा तु नरो याति मुक्तिं नास्त्यत्र संशयः १६३.
There is no doubt that whoever sees him attains liberation.
महाकायां सुरूपां च केशवाकारसन्निभाम्
Of great form, beautiful, and resembling the form of Keśava.
कृते युगे तु राजासीन्मान्धाता नाम नामतः
In the Kṛta Yuga, there was a king named Māndhātā.
तस्य तुष्टेन हि मया प्रतिमेयं समर्पिता
To him, pleased with his devotion, I gave this image.
यदा तु मथुरां प्राप्य लवणोऽयं निपातितः
When he reached Mathurā, this Lavaṇa was slain.
