Varaha Purana 211.42: Adhyaya 211, Shloka 42
Methods for the Removal of Sin and the Eulogy of Prabodhinī Ekādaśī/Dvādaśī
दहन्तीह पुराणानि भूयोभूयो वरानने ॥ न भोक्तव्यं न भोक्तव्यं सम्प्राप्ते हरिवासरे
dahantīha purāṇāni bhūyobhūyo varānane || na bhoktavyaṁ na bhoktavyaṁ samprāpte harivāsare
सुंदर चेहरा वाली, अगर इस दिन खाना खाया तो पुरान में लिखे सारे पुण्य जल जाते हैं। जब हरिवासरा आता है, तब खाना बिल्कुल नहीं खाना। दो बार कहते हैं - नहीं खाना, नहीं खाना।
