Varaha PuranaHearing, reading, reciting Varaha Purana destroys one?s sins, liberates one and assuages the mind?s sufferings. It also yields sons and grandsons. When Varaha Purana is heard in a ?Teertha? it bestows much greater ?punya? than received by hearing it at any other place.ÿ Reading one chapter of the Varaha Purana grants the same amount of ?Punya? as can be obtained by donating to a Brahmin a healthy cow. One gets the reward received by performing a huge yagya (sacrifice) if one reads ten chapters of this Purana. He who reads, listens or arranges the recital of this Purana becomes beloved of Lord Narayana immediately. |
