वराह उवाच ॥ तत्रैव चाश्रमे भद्रे चाण्डालः कृतनिश्चयः ॥ दूराज्जागरने याति मम भक्तौ व्यवस्थितः ॥
varāha uvāca || tatraiva cāśrame bhadre cāṇḍālaḥ kṛtaniścayaḥ || dūrāj jāgaraṇe yāti mama bhaktau vyavasthitaḥ ||
वराह बोले, उसी जगह एक आश्रम था। वहाँ एक चांडाल रहता था, जो बहुत डिटरमाइंड था। वो रात को जागने के लिए दूर से आता था। वो मेरा बहुत बड़ा भक्त था।
