Varaha Purana 142.59: Adhyaya 142, Shloka 59
The Greatness of Esoteric Practice: Menstrual Impurity, Mental Equanimity, and Seasonal Conjugal Ethics
( अनादिमध्यान्तमजं पुराणं रजस्वला देववरं नमामि ॥ ) तत एतेन मन्त्रेण भुक्त्वा देवि रजस्वला ॥ करोति यानि कर्माणि न तैर्दुष्येत कर्हिचित् ॥
(anādimadhyāntam ajaṃ purāṇaṃ rajasvalā devavaraṃ namāmi |) tata etena mantreṇa bhuktvā devi rajasvalā | karoti yāni karmāṇi na tair duṣyeta karhicit ||
Kłaniam się najwyższej istocie boskiej, odwiecznej, nienarodzonej, bez początku, środka ani końca, o rajasvalā. Wtedy, o Devī, kobieta w stanie rajasvalā, spożywszy posiłek i używając tej mantry, jakiekolwiek czyny spełnia, przez nie nie zostaje skażona w żadnym czasie.
