Varaha Purana 149.77: Adhyaya 149, Shloka 77
The Sacred Geography and Merit of Dvārakā
सूर्यलोकं समुत्सृज्य मम लोके महीयते ॥ तत्राश्चर्यं प्रवक्ष्यामि विष्णुं शत्रुगणेश्वरम् ॥
sūryalokaṃ samutsṛjya mama loke mahīyate || tatrāścaryaṃ pravakṣyāmi viṣṇuṃ śatrugaṇeśvaram ||
सूरज की दुनिया छोड़ के जो मेरे दुनिया में आता है, उसकी बहुत इज्जत होती है। वहाँ मैं एक अजब बात बताता हूँ, विष्णु के बारे में जो दुश्मनों के भी मालिक हैं।
