Varaha Purana

विविधैः कामभोगैस्तु सेव्यमानो नरोत्तमः

Honored with various enjoyments of desire, this best of men—

इति श्रीवराहपुराणे भगवच्छास्त्रे संसारचक्रे शुभाशुभफलानुकीर्त्तनं नाम पञ्चाधिकद्विशततमोऽध्यायः

Thus, in the blessed Varaha Purana, in the divine scripture, ends the two hundred and fifth chapter entitled 'The Description of the Fruits of Good and Evil Deeds in the Cycle of Existence.'

अथ शुभकर्मफलोदय प्रकरणम् चित्रगुप्तस्य सन्देशो वदतो यो मया श्रुतः

Now begins the section on the rise of the fruits of virtuous deeds: the message of Chitragupta, as I have heard it spoken.

इमं सर्वातिथिं दान्तं सर्वभूतानुकम्पकम्

This one, who welcomes all guests, is self-controlled, and compassionate to all beings—

मुञ्च मुञ्च महाभृत्य चैष धर्मस्य निर्णयः

Release him, release him, O great servant; this is the judgment of righteousness.

मम स्थास्यन्ति पार्श्वेषु पापा वै विकृतास्तथा

The wicked, deformed by sin, shall remain at my side.

दीयतामासनं दिव्यं तथान्यद्यानमेव च । अन्यान्यान्कामयेत्कामान्मनसा यानि चेच्छति

Let a divine seat be given to him, and likewise other vehicles; whatever desires he wishes in his mind, let those also be granted.

तत्तु शीघ्रं प्रदातव्यं धर्मराजस्य शासनात्

All this must be given quickly, by the command of the Lord of Dharma.

प्रेक्षतां च महाभागो भोक्तुं चैव सहानुगः

Let this highly fortunate one, along with his retinue, behold and enjoy.

ततः स प्रवरैर्यानैः सानुगः सपरिच्छदः

Then, with excellent vehicles, accompanied by his followers and attendants—

देवानां भवनं यातु दैवतैरभिपूजितः

Let him go to the abode of the gods, honored by the deities.

स कृतार्थः सदा लोके यत्रैषोऽभिप्रयास्यति 206.

He, having attained his purpose, will always be fulfilled in the world wherever he may go.

नैककन्याप्रदातारं नैकयज्ञकृतं तथा

Not only one who gives a single maiden, nor only one who performs a single sacrifice—

तत्रैष रमतां धीरः सहस्रमयुतं समाः

Let this steadfast one delight there for thousands and tens of thousands of years.

भूतानुकम्पको ह्येष क्रियतामस्य चार्च्चनम्

For he is compassionate to beings; let worship be performed for him.

जायते तु ततः पश्चात्सर्वमानुषपूजितः

Then, afterwards, he is born, honored by all people.

असकृद्येन दत्तानि तस्मै पूजां प्रयच्छथ

To him who has given gifts repeatedly, offer worship.

हस्तेन संस्पृशत्येष मृदुना शीतलेन च

He touches it with his hand, gently and coolly.

महापद्मानि चत्वारि तस्मिंस्तिष्ठन्तु नित्यशः

Let the four great lotuses remain there always.

बहुसुन्दरनारीके कुले जन्म समाप्नुयात्

He attains birth in a family with many beautiful women.

एष वा यातु नः पार्श्वमस्मै पूजां प्रयच्छथ

Let this one go to our side; offer him worship.

गोरसस्य तु पूर्णानि भाजनानि सहस्रशः 206.

Thousands of vessels filled with cow's milk are there.

ततः पश्चादयं यातु यत्र लोकोऽनसूयकः

Then let him go onward to where the people are free from envy.

बहुसुन्दरनारीभिः सेव्यमानो महातपाः

The great ascetic is served by many beautiful women.

इदमेवापरं चैव चित्रगुप्तस्य भाषितम्

This too is another statement spoken by Citragupta.

अमृतं धारयन्त्यश्च प्रचरन्ति महीतले

They bear nectar and move about on the earth.

पवित्रं च पवित्राणां पुष्टीनां पुष्टिरेव च

It is the purest of the pure, and the nourishment of the nourished.

दघ्ना हि त्रिदशाः सर्वे क्षीरेण च महेश्वरः

All the gods and Maheshvara are satisfied by milk.

सकृद्दत्तेन प्रीयन्ते वर्षाणां हि त्रयोदश

They are pleased for thirteen years by a single offering.
