Varaha Purana 150.12: Adhyaya 150, Shloka 12
The Sacred Greatness of Sānandūra
मम भक्ताः हि पश्यन्ति विद्यमाना स्वकर्मणा ॥ बहुमत्स्यसहस्राणि कोट्यो ह्यर्बुदमेव च ॥
mama bhaktā hi paśyanti vidyamānā svakarmaṇā || bahumatsyasahasrāṇi koṭyo hy arbudam eva ca ||
Namun para bhakta-Ku melihatnya, kerana daya karma mereka sendiri. Di sana ada banyak ribuan ikan—bahkan berkoṭi-koṭi (crore), dan sampai arbuda (sepuluh juta) juga.
