Varaha Purana 132.28: Adhyaya 132, Shloka 28
Expiatory Rites for Contact with a Corpse and with a Menstruating Woman
एवं स चात्मदोषेण मम कर्मपरायणः ॥ प्राप्नोति सुमहद्दुःखं देवि चैवं न संशयः ॥
evaṃ sa cātmadoṣeṇa mama karmaparāyaṇaḥ || prāpnoti sumahadduḥkhaṃ devi caivaṃ na saṃśayaḥ ||
इस तरह जो इंसान अपनी गलती करता है, वो बड़ा दुख पाता है। देवी, यह बात पक्की है, कोई शक नहीं। चाहे वो मेरा काम करता रहे, फिर भी उसको दुख मिलेगा।
