Varaha Purana 49.27: Adhyaya 49, Shloka 27
The Padmanābha Dvādaśī Observance, with the Eulogy of Lamp-Offering Merit
त्रिमासे द्वापरे भक्त्या पूजयँल्लभते फलम् । नमो नारायणायेति उक्त्वा कलौ तु लभते फलम् । तेन मुष्टं जगद्विष्णोर्भक्तिमात्रं मयेरितम् ॥ ४९.२७ ॥
trimāse dvāpare bhaktyā pūjayaṁllabhate phalam | namo nārāyaṇāyety uktvā kalau tu labhate phalam | tena muṣṭaṁ jagad viṣṇor bhaktimātraṁ mayeritam || 49.27 ||
Trong thời Dvāpara, người thờ phụng với lòng bhakti suốt ba tháng sẽ đạt được quả báo. Nhưng trong thời Kali, chỉ cần xưng niệm “namo nārāyaṇāya” cũng đạt được quả báo ấy. Vì vậy, ta đã tuyên bày ngắn gọn cho thế gian rằng: chỉ riêng lòng sùng kính đối với Viṣṇu là cốt yếu.
