Varaha Purana 149.76: Adhyaya 149, Shloka 76
The Sacred Geography and Merit of Dvārakā
तत्र कुण्डं महाभागे मणिपूरगिरा श्रुतम् ॥ धारा चैका पतत्यत्र लाभालाभविवर्जितः ॥
tatra kuṇḍaṃ mahābhāge maṇipūragirā śrutam || dhārā caikā pataty atra lābhālābhavivarjitaḥ ||
वहाँ एक कुंड है जिसका नाम मणिपुरगिरा है। उसमें एक धारा गिरती है। जो वहाँ जाता है वो न फायदा सोचता है न नुकसान, बस भक्ति में लगा रहता है।
