Varaha Purana 149.44: Adhyaya 149, Shloka 44
The Sacred Geography and Merit of Dvārakā
धारा चैका पतत्यत्र मणिपूरगिरौ श्रिता ॥ तत्राभिषेकं कुर्वीत षष्ठकालोषितो नरः ॥
dhārā caikā pataty atra maṇipūragirau śritā || tatrābhiṣekaṃ kurvīta ṣaṣṭhakāloṣito naraḥ ||
ఇక్కడ ఒకే ధార పడుతుంది; అది మణిపూరగిరిపై ఆశ్రయించి ఉంది. అక్కడ ఆరు కాలములు నివసించిన మనిషి అక్కడే అభిషేకం చేయవలెను.
