Varaha Purana 168.18: Adhyaya 168, Shloka 18
The Merit of Seeing Mathurā’s Guardian-Deity and a Catalog of Mathurā’s Sacred Geography
मथुरायास्तु माहात्म्यं ते यान्ति परमं पदम् ॥ कुलानि ते तारयन्ति द्वे शते विंशयोर् द्वयोः ॥
mathurāyāstu māhātmyaṃ te yānti paramaṃ padam || kulāni te tārayanti dve śate viṃśayor dvayoḥ ||
मथुरा की बात ही अलग है। यहाँ सबसे बड़ा फल मिलता है। इंसान के पूर्वज भी तर जाते हैं। दो सौ चालीस पीढ़ी तक सबको मुक्ति मिलती है।
