Exposition of the Glory of the Mandāra Sacred Grove
एतन्न जानते केचिन्मम माया विमोहिताः ॥ मुच्य भाऽगवताञ्छुद्धान्ये च वाराहमाश्रिताः
etanna jānate kecin mama māyā-vimohitāḥ || mucya bhāgavatāñ chuddhān ye ca vārāham āśritāḥ
कुछ लोग इस बात को समझते नहीं क्योंकि मेरी माया उन्हे भुला देती है। पर जो लोग मेरे भक्त बन के साफ हो गए, वो और जो वराह को फॉलो करते हैं, वो बंधन से आज़ाद हो जाते हैं।
Varāha
It reflects a common Purāṇic pedagogical contrast between delusion (māyā) and liberation through disciplined devotion and refuge, characteristic of late-classical Sanskrit religious literature.
No specific location is named in this verse; it functions as a doctrinal statement within the Mandāra-related narrative context.
Cultivate clarity and purification (śuddhi) and adopt a disciplined refuge-oriented path rather than remaining in delusion.
