Varaha Purana 113.61 — Adhyaya 113, Shloka 61
Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
उभे सन्ध्ये पठेत्स्तोत्रं माधवस्य महात्मनः ॥ स गच्छेद्विष्णुलोकं च नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥
ubhe sandhye paṭhet stotraṃ mādhavasya mahātmanaḥ || sa gacched viṣṇulokaṃ ca nātra kāryā vicāraṇā ||
Kung sa dalawang sandhyā—sa bukang-liwayway at sa dapithapon—ay bigkasin ang himno para sa dakilang Mādhava, siya’y makararating sa daigdig ni Viṣṇu; dito’y wala nang dapat pag-alinlanganan.
