Varaha Purana 145.75: Adhyaya 145, Shloka 75
The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
अश्वमेधफलं भुक्त्वा भूमे मत्समतां व्रजेत् ॥ अन्यच्च ते प्रवक्ष्यामि क्षेत्रं गुह्यं परं मम ॥
aśvamedhaphalaṃ bhuktvā bhūme matsamatāṃ vrajet || anyac ca te pravakṣyāmi kṣetraṃ guhyaṃ paraṃ mama ||
अश्वमेध का फल भोग के, धरती, वो मेरे जैसा हो जाता है। और एक और चीज़ बताता हूँ, एक गुप्त क्षेत्र जो मेरा है।
