The Greatness of Kapila-Varāha: The Efficacy of Vaikuṇṭha Tīrtha and the Installation History of the Varāha Image
अह्न्यहनि पूजामि देवं वाराहरूपिणम् ॥ अयोध्यां चैव नेष्यामि त्वया दत्तं हि राक्षस ॥
ahanyahani pūjāmi devaṃ vārāharūpiṇam || ayodhyāṃ caiva neṣyāmi tvayā dattaṃ hi rākṣasa ||
నేను ప్రతిదినం వరాహరూపుడైన దేవుని పూజిస్తాను. ఓ రాక్షసా, నీవు ఇచ్చినదానిని కూడా నేను అయోధ్యకు తీసుకెళ్తాను.
