Varaha Purana 11.36 — Adhyaya 11, Shloka 36
Hospitality at Gauramukha’s Hermitage and the Power of the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel
एवं कृत्वा स विप्रस्तु राजानं भूरितेजसम् । उवाच सर्वसैन्यानि प्रविशन्तु गृहानिति ॥ ११.३६ ॥
evaṃ kṛtvā sa vipras tu rājānaṃ bhūritejasam | uvāca sarvasainyāni praviśantu gṛhān iti || 11.36 ||
అలా చేసి ఆ బ్రాహ్మణుడు మహాతేజస్సుగల రాజుతో అన్నాడు— “సర్వ సైన్యములు తమ తమ నివాసాలలో ప్రవేశించుగాక।”
