Chapter 262 - Greatness of Varāhasvāmī
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-2. Thereafter, O great goddess, a pilgrim should go to the shrine of Varāha stationed there itself to the south of the Goṣpada (pit made by the hoofs of cows). It is destructive of sins.
A man who worships the deity on the eleventh lunar day in the bright half of a month, shall be rid of all sins. He shall go to the great region of Viṣṇu.
