Varaha Purana 145.91: Adhyaya 145, Shloka 91
The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
यज्ञस्तपोऽथवा दानं श्राद्धमिष्टस्य पूजनम् ॥ यत्किञ्चित्क्रियते कर्म तदनन्तफलं भवेत् ॥
yajñas tapo ’thavā dānaṃ śrāddham iṣṭasya pūjanam | yat kiñcit kriyate karma tad ananta-phalaṃ bhavet ||
यहाँ जो भी करम करो, उसका रिज़ल्ट बहुत बड़ा होता है। यज्ञ हो, तपस्या हो, दान देना हो, या अपने भगवान की पूजा। जो भी करम यहाँ करता है, उसको अनंत फल मिलता है।
