Varaha Purana 29.14: Adhyaya 29, Shloka 14
The Birth and Marriages of the Direction-Goddesses and the Daśamī Observance
एवं दत्त्वा पुनर्ब्रह्मा तिथिं प्रादाद्दिशां पुनः । दशमीं भर्तृनाम्नास्तु दध्यन्नं भोजनं प्रभुः ॥ २९.१४ ॥
evaṃ dattvā punar brahmā tithiṃ prādād diśāṃ punaḥ | daśamīṃ bhartṛnāmnāstu dadhyannaṃ bhojanaṃ prabhuḥ || 29.14 ||
ब्रह्मा ने यह सब देकर फिर से दिशाओं को तिथि दी। दसवीं तिथि का नाम भर्तृ रखा। उस दिन प्रभु ने कहा कि दही-चावल खाना है।
