Varaha Purana 129.56: Adhyaya 129, Shloka 56
Initiation for the Four Social Orders, Sandhyā Mantra Procedure, and the Merit of Offering Water in a Copper Vessel
तानि ते कथयिष्यामि त्वया मे पूर्वपृच्छितम् ॥ सौवर्णं राजतं कांस्यं येषु दद्यात्प्रपाणकम् ॥
tāni te kathayiṣyāmi tvayā me pūrvapṛcchitam || sauvarṇaṃ rājataṃ kāṃsyaṃ yeṣu dadyāt prapāṇakam
तुमने पहले पूछा था, वो सब मैं अब बताता हूँ। पानी देने के लिए सोना, चाँदी और कांसी के बर्तन बता रहा हूँ।
