Varaha Purana 152.25: Adhyaya 152, Shloka 25
Praise of the Sacred Geography of Mathurā
तत्र गुह्यानि नामानि भविष्यन्ति मम प्रिये ॥ पुण्यानि च पवित्राणि संसारच्छेदनानि च
tatra guhyāni nāmāni bhaviṣyanti mama priye || puṇyāni ca pavitrāṇi saṃsāracchedanāni ca
वहाँ मेरे नाम छुपा होंगे। वो पुण्य वाले हैं और इंसान को साफ करते हैं। यह नाम जनम मरण के चक्कर को खत्म करते हैं।
