Varaha Purana 9.20: Adhyaya 9, Shloka 20
The Sequence of Creation, the Emergence of the Praṇava, and the Fish Incarnation’s Retrieval of the Vedas
तपोलोकं ततो देवास्तपोनिṣ्ठैरपूरयत् । अपुनर्मारकैर्देवैः सत्यलोकमपूरयत् ॥ ९.२० ॥
tapolokaṃ tato devās taponīṣṭhair apūrayat | apunarmārakair devaiḥ satyalokam apūrayat || 9.20 ||
फिर देवता ने तपोलोक को तप करते लोगों से भरा। सत्यलोक उन देवता से भरा जो वापस जनम नहीं लेते। वो मौत के बाद फिर से नहीं आते।
