Varaha Purana 145.97: Adhyaya 145, Shloka 97
The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
तं ये विन्दन्ति ते देवि नूनं मामेव विन्दति ॥ ये मां विदन्ति देवेशि ते विदन्ति शिवं परम् ॥
taṃ ye vindanti te devi nūnaṃ mām eva vindati | ye māṃ vidanti deveśi te vidanti śivaṃ param ||
देवी, जो शिव को ढूंढ़ते हैं वो मुझे ढूंढ़ते हैं। जो मुझे जानते हैं वो शिव को जानते हैं। दोनों में कोई फरक नहीं।
