Varaha Purana 152.23: Adhyaya 152, Shloka 23
Praise of the Sacred Geography of Mathurā
मूर्तिं चतुर्विधां कृत्वा स्थास्यामि ऋषिभिः स्तुतः ॥ वत्सराणां शतं तत्र युद्धेषु कृतनिश्चयः
mūrtiṃ caturvidhāṃ kṛtvā sthāsyāmi ṛṣibhiḥ stutaḥ || vatsarāṇāṃ śataṃ tatra yuddheṣu kṛtaniścayaḥ
मैं चार रूप बनाऊंगा और वहाँ रहूंगा। रिशि लोग मुझे बोलेंगे। सौ साल तक वहाँ लड़ाई में मैं पक्का रहूंगा।
