Varaha Purana 44.2: Adhyaya 44, Shloka 2
The Vaiśākha Bright-Twelfth Observance: Worship of Hari as Jāmadagnya and Its Fruits
तत्राराध्य हरिं भक्त्या एभिर्मन्त्रैर्विचक्षणः । जामदग्न्याय पादौ तु उदरं सर्वधारिणे । मधुसूदनायेति कटिमुरः श्रीवत्सधारिणे ॥ ४४.२ ॥
tatrārādhya hariṃ bhaktyā ebhir mantrair vicakṣaṇaḥ | jāmadagnyāya pādau tu udaraṃ sarvadhāriṇe | madhusūdanāyeti kaṭim uraḥ śrīvatsadhāriṇe || 44.2 ||
Tam roztropny praktyk powinien czcić Hariego z oddaniem, używając tych mantr: przy stopach niech recytuje „ku Dżamadagnji”; przy brzuchu „ku Podtrzymującemu Wszystko”; a przy pasie i piersi „ku Madhusudanie”, ku Temu, który nosi znak Śriwatsa.
