Varaha Purana 152.26: Adhyaya 152, Shloka 26
Praise of the Sacred Geography of Mathurā
यत्राहं पातयिष्यामि द्वात्रिंशत्तु वसुन्धरे ॥ दैत्यान्घोरान्महाभागे कंसादीन् धर्मदूषकान्
yatrāhaṃ pātayiṣyāmi dvātriṃśattu vasundhare || daityān ghorān mahābhāge kaṃsādīn dharmadūṣakān
मैं धरती पर बैसाउंगा और बताउंगा। वहीं मैं तीस-बेस डरावने दैत्यों को मार कर गिरा दूंगा। कंस और उसके जैसों को, जो धरम को बिगाड़ते हैं, मैं उन्हे खत्म करूंगा।
