Varaha Purana 184.4: Adhyaya 184, Shloka 4
Installation of a Copper Icon (Tāmrārcā) and Its Consecratory Worship
मन्त्रः— योऽसौ भवान्तिष्ठति सारभूतः त्वं ताम्रके तिष्ठसि नेत्रभूतः ॥ आगच्छ मूर्तौ सह पञ्चभूतैर्मया च पात्रैः सह विश्वधामन्
mantraḥ— yo'sau bhavāṃstiṣṭhati sārabhūtaḥ tvaṃ tāmre tiṣṭhasi netrabhūtaḥ || āgaccha mūrtau saha pañcabhūtairmayā ca pātraiḥ saha viśvadhāman
यह मंत्र है। तू ही तो असली चीज़ है जो सब में है। अब तू इस कॉपर की मूर्ति में आ जा। पाँच तत्व लेके आ जा, मैं और यह सब बर्तन भी साथ हैं। तू ही तो पूरा संसार का घर है।
