Eulogy of the Merits (Phalaśruti) of the Dharāṇī-Varāha Dialogue
अथ धरणीवराहसंवादफलश्रुतिवर्णनम् ॥ सनत्कुमार उवाच ॥ उक्तं भगवता सर्वं यथावत्परमेष्ठिना ॥ पृष्टेन संशयं सम्यक्परं कृत्वार्थनिश्चयम् ॥
atha dharaṇīvarāha-saṁvāda-phalaśruti-varṇanam || sanatkumāra uvāca || uktaṁ bhagavatā sarvaṁ yathāvat parameṣṭhinā || pṛṣṭena saṁśayaṁ samyak paraṁ kṛtvārthaniścayam ||
अब हम सुनेंगे कि धराणी और वराह की बात-चीत से क्या फायदा मिलता है। सनत्कुमार ने कहा, भगवान ने सब कुछ सही-सही बताया। जब उनसे सवाल किया, उन्होंने शक दूर कर दिया और सही बात क्लियर कर दी।
