Varaha Purana 217.5: Adhyaya 217, Shloka 5
Eulogy of the Merits (Phalaśruti) of the Dharāṇī-Varāha Dialogue
सर्वेषामेव तीर्थानामेषां फलविनिश्चयम् ॥ कुरु राज्यं पुरस्कृत्य मुनीनां पुरतो वने ॥
sarveṣām eva tīrthānām eṣāṁ phalaviniścayam || kuru rājyaṁ puraskṛtya munīnāṁ purato vane ||
सब तीर्थों का फायदा पता करो। राजा बन के यह काम करो। जंगल में रिशियों के सामने बैठ के सब क्लियर करो।
Brahmā (contextual continuation from prior explicit brahmovāca)
