Varaha Purana 67.1: Adhyaya 67, Shloka 1
On the Two ‘Sita-Kṛṣṇā’ Figures, the Sevenfold Ocean, and the Twelvefold Year
भद्राश्व उवाच । भगवन् सितकृष्णे द्वे भिन्ने जगति केशवान् । स्त्रियौ बभूवतुः के द्वे सितकृष्णा च का शुभा ॥ ६७.१ ॥
bhadrāśva uvāca | bhagavan sitakṛṣṇe dve bhinne jagati keśavān | striyau babhūvatuḥ ke dve sitakṛṣṇā ca kā śubhā || 67.1 ||
भद्राश्व ने पूछा, भगवान, दुनिया में सीता और कृष्णा, यह दोनों अलग हैं। पर दोनों काल से जुड़ीं हैं। यह दोनों औरतें कौन हैं? और वो सीता-कृष्णा कौन है जो शुभ काम करती है?
