Varaha Purana 162.62: Adhyaya 162, Shloka 62
The Efficacy and Merit of Cakra-tīrtha
नित्यं च भुञ्जते यत्र पात्रं द्रव्यसमर्पितम् ॥ दृष्ट्वा भद्रेश्वरं देवं चक्रतीर्थे फलं लभेत् ॥
nityaṃ ca bhuñjate yatra pātraṃ dravya-samarpitam || dṛṣṭvā bhadreśvaraṃ devaṃ cakratīrthe phalaṃ labhet ||
जहाँ रोज़ खाना खाया जाता है सही बर्तन में, और खाने को पहले भगवान को समर्पित किया जाता है। वहाँ चक्रतीर्थ में भद्रेश्वर भगवान को देखने से इंसान को पुण्य मिलता है।

FAQs

Cakratīrtha is named; the verse preserves an ancient toponym for a pilgrimage-water/ford site, though a single fragment does not securely fix a modern identification without corroborating manuscript or regional tīrtha lists.
The passage foregrounds proper offering and disciplined giving/consumption practices (samarpita-dravya, pātra), linking ethical ritual order with the cultural practice of pilgrimage.
