Varaha Purana 154.32: Adhyaya 154, Shloka 32
The Efficacy of Yamunā River Pilgrimage Sites
Merits of Mathurā-Region Tīrthas
तत्र स्नात्वा च पीत्वा च माठुरं लभते फलम् ॥ अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान् मम लोकं स गच्छति ॥
tatra snātvā ca pītvā ca māṭhuraṃ labhate phalam || athātra muñcate prāṇān mama lokaṃ sa gacchati ||
Tendo-se banhado ali e também bebido (daquela água), obtém-se o mérito próprio de Mathurā. E, se ali abandonar os sopros vitais, vai para o meu mundo.
