Varaha Purana 145.31: Adhyaya 145, Shloka 31
The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
पश्यतस्तस्य वसुधे तत्रैवान्तरहितोऽभवम् ॥ वृक्षं दक्षिणतः कृत्वा जगाम स्वाश्रमं मुनिः ॥
paśyatastasya vasudhe tatraivāntarhito ’bhavam || vṛkṣaṃ dakṣiṇataḥ kṛtvā jagāma svāśramaṃ muniḥ ||
हे धरती, जब वो देख रहा था, मैं वही गायब हो गया। फिर रिशि ने उस पेड़ को अपने दायें तरफ रख के अपने आश्रम की तरफ चल दिया।
