Varaha Purana 162.48: Adhyaya 162, Shloka 48
The Efficacy and Merit of Cakra-tīrtha
दिवस्यावसाने तु भोजनं गृहीत्वा गच्छति ॥ भोजनं कुरुते नित्यं प्रियादत्तं वसुन्धरे ॥
divasyāvasāne tu bhojanaṃ gṛhītvā gacchati || bhojanaṃ kurute nityaṃ priyādattaṃ vasundhare
ദിവസാവസാനത്തിൽ അവൾ ഭക്ഷണം എടുത്തുകൊണ്ട് പോകുമായിരുന്നു. ഹേ വസുന്ധരേ, പ്രിയൻ നൽകിയ ആഹാരം അവൾ നിത്യവും ഭുജിച്ചു.
