Varaha Purana 126.158: Adhyaya 126, Shloka 158
The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
अग्नितीर्थं महाभागे दीप्तमन्तं सवैष्णवम् ॥ सप्त कृत्वाग्निमेधानां यत्फलं भवति प्रिय
agnitīrthaṃ mahābhāge dīptamantaṃ savaiṣṇavam || sapta kṛtvāgnimedhānāṃ yatphalaṃ bhavati priye
यह अग्नि-तीर्थ बहुत स्पेशल है, और विष्णु से जुड़ा हुआ है। यहाँ सिर्फ नहाने से इतना पुण्य मिलता है जितना सात अग्नि-मेध यज्ञ करने से मिलता है।
