Varaha Purana 166.30: Adhyaya 166, Shloka 30
The Greatness of the Sacred Pond Called Asikuṇḍa
मूर्त्तीः पश्यति यस्तास्तु ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते ॥ नास्तीह पुनरावृत्तिर्भवेत्कालविपर्यये ॥
mūrtīḥ paśyati yas tāstu brahmabhūyāya kalpate || nāstīha punarāvṛttir bhavet kālaviparyaye
Namun sesiapa yang memandang arca-arcanya itu menjadi layak mencapai keadaan Brahman (brahmabhūya). Di sini tiada kembali lagi (kelahiran semula), walaupun masa berbalik arah.
