Varaha Purana 95.70: Adhyaya 95, Shloka 70
The Slaying of the Daitya Ruru, the Hymn to Cāmuṇḍā/Kālarātri, and the Doctrine of the Threefold Power
यश्चाराधयते तास्तु रुद्रस्तुष्टो भविष्यति । सिद्ध्यन्ते तास्तदा देव्यो मन्त्रिणो नात्र संशयः ॥
yaś cārādhayate tās tu rudras tuṣṭo bhaviṣyati | siddhyante tās tadā devyo mantriṇo nātra saṃśayaḥ ||
جو کوئی ان (دیویوں) کی باقاعدہ عبادت کرتا ہے، رُدر خوشنود ہو جاتا ہے؛ تب وہ الٰہی قوتیں کارگر و ثابت ہو جاتی ہیں—اے مشیرو—اس میں کوئی شک نہیں۔
