Varaha Purana 210.52: Adhyaya 210, Shloka 52
Inquiry into Moral Agency (Karma) and Practical Means for the Dissolution of Sin: the Śiśumāra Contemplation
तदा स दुष्कृतान्सर्वान्विनाशयति मानवः ॥ यदा सोमं गुरुं सर्वं यः कुर्यात्तु प्रदक्षिणम् ॥
tadā sa duṣkṛtān sarvān vināśayati mānavaḥ | yadā somaṃ guruṃ sarvaṃ yaḥ kuryāt tu pradakṣiṇam ||
तब उस इंसान के सारे बुरे काम नष्ट हो जाते हैं। जब कोई सोम को गुरु मान के उसका परिक्रमा करता है, सोम जो सबका गुरु है।
