Chapter on the Sacred Hill Episode: Satyatapā and the Marvel of Varāha
विप्रा विप्राश्चार्चयन्तीह भक्त्या तेषां पापं नश्यतां मासमेकम् ॥ यत्सञ्चितं त्वेष एको वरोऽस्तु ह्यभीष्टो मे सांप्रतम् देहि मह्यम् ॥
viprā viprāś cārcayantīha bhaktyā teṣāṁ pāpaṁ naśyatāṁ māsam ekam || yat sañcitaṁ tv eṣa eko varo 'stu hy abhīṣṭo me sāṁprataṁ dehi mahyam ||
ब्राह्मिन लोगों की यहाँ भक्ति से पूजा हो। एक महीने में उनका जो भी पाप है, वो खत्म हो जाए। बस यह एक वरदान चाहिए। अब जो मैं माँग रहा हूँ वो दे दो।
Satyatapā (inferred continuation of boon-request context)
