The blessed Varāha said: There is no holy field better than Kokāmukha, none purer than Kokāmukha; there is no place (like) Kokāmukha, nothing dearer than Kokāmukha. (One) is born in a vast, pure (family) that follows my path; and there one gives up one's life-breaths, having resorted to the Viṣṇu stream. Four streams fall here, coming down from the height of the mountain; the man who bathes there, having fasted five nights, passes beyond the sun-world and goes to my world. There is a supreme secret field of mine named Dhenuvaṭa; it stands, O fair-hipped one, following my path. And there one gives up one's life-breaths, having performed a very hard austerity. Those men who bathe there, having fasted one night, attain a distinct Kiṃpuruṣa (state) and are born (there) — no doubt of it. (There is a place) known as Daṃṣṭrāṅkura, where the Kokā (river) came forth; creatures do not know this secret, whence they release (their lives). And there one who is established in my rite gives up his life-breaths; abandoning all attachment, he goes to my world. Those men, O Earth, who remember me, freed of sin, being pure, perform there the rites for release from saṃsāra.
