Varaha Purana 207.53 — Adhyaya 207, Shloka 53
Section on the ‘Person’ who Entices Beings within the Cycle of Rebirth
पतिव्रता न गच्छन्ति सत्यवाक्याश्च ये नराः ॥ अजिताश्चाशठाश्चैव स्वामिभक्ताश्च ये नराः
pativratā na gacchanti satyavākyāś ca ye narāḥ || ajitāś cāśaṭhāś caiva svāmibhaktāś ca ye narāḥ
పతివ్రతులు (ధర్మనిష్ఠులు) పతనమవరు; సత్యవాక్యులు అయిన పురుషులు; అజేయులు (దృఢులు) మరియు కపటరహితులు; అలాగే స్వామిభక్తులు—ఇవే ఇక్కడ ప్రశంసింపబడినవారు।
