Varaha Purana 145.53: Adhyaya 145, Shloka 53
The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान्मम कर्मसु निष्ठितः ॥ अग्निष्टोमफलं भुक्त्वा मम लोकं प्रपद्यते ॥
athātra muñcate prāṇān mama karmasu niṣṭhitaḥ || agniṣṭomaphalaṃ bhuktvā mama lokaṃ prapadyate ||
अगर कोई वहाँ मेरा धरम फॉलो करता हुआ मर जाता है, तो वो मेरा लोक पा लेता है। पहले वो अग्निष्टोम जैसा फल भोगता है।
