Varaha Purana 158.31: Adhyaya 158, Shloka 31
The Manifestation and Sanctifying Power of the Mathurā Tīrtha
सुप्तोत्थितं हरिं दृष्ट्वा मथुरायां वसुंधरे॥ न तस्य पुनरावृत्तिर्जायते स चतुर्भुजः॥
suptotthitaṁ hariṁ dṛṣṭvā mathurāyāṁ vasundhare || na tasya punarāvṛttir jāyate sa caturbhujaḥ
वसुंधरे, मथुरा में जो हरि को देखता है, जैसे वो नींद से उठा हो, वो फिर से जनम नहीं लेता। उसके चारों हाथ हो जाते हैं, वो मुक्त हो जाता है।
