Varaha Purana 156.11: Adhyaya 156, Shloka 11
The Manifest Sacred Landscape of Mathurā: Merits of Vatsakrīḍanaka, Bhāṇḍīraka, Vṛndāvana, Keśītīrtha, and the Sūrya-Tīrthas
तस्माच्छतगुणं पुण्यं नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ तत्रापि च विशेषोऽस्ति केशितीर्थे वसुन्धरे ॥
tasmāc chataguṇaṃ puṇyaṃ nātra kāryā vicāraṇā || tatrāpi ca viśeṣo 'sti keśitīrthe vasundhare ||
इसलिए यह सौ गुना पुण्य है, इसमें कोई शक नहीं। और केसी तीर्थ में एक खास बात और भी है, वसुंधरा।
