Varaha Purana 166.11: Adhyaya 166, Shloka 11
The Greatness of the Sacred Pond Called Asikuṇḍa
युद्धं विमतिना सार्द्धं स्वयं कर्त्तुं न शक्नुमः ॥ कल्पग्रामं तु गच्छामो वराहो यत्र तिष्ठति ॥
yuddhaṁ vimatina sārdhaṁ svayaṁ kartuṁ na śaknumaḥ || kalpagrāmaṁ tu gacchāmo varāho yatra tiṣṭhati ||
हम विमति से अकेले लड़ नहीं सकते। चलो कल्पग्राम चलते हैं, वहाँ वराह भगवान रहते हैं।

FAQs
It preserves a toponym (Kalpagrāma) and shows how Purāṇic narratives route conflicts toward a sacral authority figure, reflecting pilgrimage-linked dispute resolution motifs.
Kalpagrāma is explicitly named; its precise modern identification is uncertain without additional textual anchors, but it functions as a sacralized locale associated with Varāha.
When direct confrontation is untenable, seeking counsel or refuge in a recognized center of authority is presented as a prudent, non-escalatory course.
