समाप्तं वाराहं महापुराणं शुभम् ॥ यादृशं पुस्तके दृष्टं तादृशं लिखितं मया ॥ यदि शुद्धमशुद्धं वा मम दोषो न विद्यते ॥
samāptaṃ vārāhaṃ mahāpurāṇaṃ śubham || yādṛśaṃ pustake dṛṣṭaṃ tādṛśaṃ likhitaṃ mayā || yadi śuddham aśuddhaṃ vā mama doṣo na vidyate ||
यह वराह महापुराण पूरा हो गया। जो मैंने पुस्तक में देखा मैंने वैसा ही लिखा है। अगर कोई गलती है तो मेरी गलती नहीं है।
