Varaha Purana 145.77: Adhyaya 145, Shloka 77
The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
गन्धर्वाप्सरसश्चैव नागकन्याः सहोरगैः ॥ देवर्षयश्च मुनयः समस्तसुरनायकाः ॥
gandharvāpsarasaś caiva nāgakanyāḥ sahoragaiḥ || devarṣayaś ca munayaḥ samastasuranāyakāḥ ||
गंधर्व और अप्सरा भी हैं। नाग कन्या हैं साँप के साथ। देव ऋषि और मुनिवर हैं। सब देवता के बड़े-बड़े लोग हैं।
