Varaha Purana 192.25 — Adhyaya 192, Shloka 25
Description of the Universal Peace-Recitation and the Madhuparka Rite
मद्भक्तेन तु दातव्यं सर्वसंसारमोक्षणम् ॥ दृष्ट्वा तु विह्वलं ह्येनं मम कर्मपरायणः ॥
madbhaktena tu dātavyaṃ sarvasaṃsāramokṣaṇam || dṛṣṭvā tu vihvalaṃ hy enaṃ mama karmaparāyaṇaḥ ||
എന്നാൽ ഇത് എന്റെ ഭക്തൻ തന്നെയാണ് നൽകേണ്ടത്—സകല സംസാരപരിഭ്രമണത്തിൽ നിന്നുള്ള മോക്ഷസാധനമായി—ഇവനെ വിഹ്വലനായി കണ്ടിട്ട്, എന്റെ കർമ്മങ്ങളിൽ പരായണനായി ഇരിക്കണം।
