Varaha Purana 136.60 — Adhyaya 136, Shloka 60
A Sūtra-like Manual of Expiations for Ritual Transgressions
जायते विपुले सिद्धे कुले भागवते शुचिः ॥ विनीतः कृतसंस्कारो मम कर्मपरायणः
jāyate vipule siddhe kule bhāgavate śuciḥ || vinītaḥ kṛtasaṁskāro mama karmaparāyaṇaḥ
അവൻ സമൃദ്ധവും സിദ്ധവുമായ ഭഗവദ്ഭക്ത ശുചികുലത്തിൽ ജനിക്കുന്നു; വിനീതൻ, സംസ്കാരസമ്പന്നൻ, എനിക്കനുസൃതമായ കര്മങ്ങളിൽ പരായണൻ.
