Varaha Purana 157.32: Adhyaya 157, Shloka 32
Praise of the Malayārjuna Sacred Ford and the Mathurā-Yamunā Pilgrimage Cycle
तत्राथ मुञ्चते प्राणान्मम लोकं स गच्छति ॥ वसुपत्रं महातीर्थं पुण्यं परममुत्तमम् ॥
tatrātha muñcate prāṇān mama lokaṃ sa gacchati || vasupatraṃ mahātīrthaṃ puṇyaṃ paramam uttamam ||
फिर अगर कोई वहाँ जान दे देता है, तो वो मेरे पास आता है। वसुपत्र नाम की जगह एक बड़ा तीर्थ है, बहुत पुण्य वाली और सबसे बड़ी।
