Prapatti Verses from "Shree Varaha-Purana" (in Sanskrit)...

Approximately 2 months ago I have published a post in English dedicated to "Nyasa-Yoga" (Prapatti) Verse from "Shree Varaha-Purana" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2017/02/prapatti-verses-from-shree-varaha-purana.html 

This Verse is especially crucial for Shree Ramanuja-Sampradaya, because it is akin to Shree Varaha-Charama-Shloka and secures Moksha in just 1 life for Prapannas. 

I have found this Verse in the Sanskrit Edition of "Shree-Varaha-Purana (link), it sounds in the following way (Chapter 142, Verse 62 in this English edition, but Verse 59 in this Sanskrit edition):

यस्यैतद् विदितं सर्वं न्यासयोगं वसुन्धरे |
योगे न्यस्य सदात्मानं मुच्यते न च संशयः || 
yasyaitad viditaM sarvaM nyAsayogaM vasundhare |
yoge nyasya sadAtmAnaM muchyate na cha saMshayaH || 

Translation: "But prapanna to whom Nyasa-Yoga (dedicating everything to Me) is known, gets Moksha, no doubt".

The entire excerpt in Sanskrit:

"Shree Varaha-Purana" (Sanskrit, with Adhyayas numbers embedded into bookmarks for easy search)

UPDATE FROM 23-FEB-2021: I have also added to my blog the ITRANS-Sanskrit version of all "Shree Varaha-Purana" 218 Chapters (searchable TXT-file, just 1.6 MB), please see THIS POST

DOWNLOAD (SANSKRIT, PDF-SCAN, 103MB):


English annotation by Vishnudut1926: This Sanskrit edition is great, but the numeration of Adhyayas is rather tricky. 

I have embedded numbers of Adhyayas right into Bookmarks (can be seen via "CTRL+B" in most pdf-viewers), so everybody can find the necessary Adhyaya in a second. 

I am using this Sanskrit scan in conjunction with English translation of "Shree Varaha-Purana" by Motilal Banasirdass (this one). 

Please note, that some discrepancies are possible (for example, Verse 53 in Sanskrit edition maybe Verse 56 in English edition and etc.), but both Sanskrit and English scans are quite similar, so both scans are fit to be studied in conjunction. 

If by means of Absolute Surrender one can attain The Grace of God, what is the need of performing the Dharmas?

Interesting article from "Kalyana-Kalpataru" dwelling on the problem "Leave or not to leave Dharma for the sake of Krishna as told in "Shree Bhagavad-Gita", 18.66?". 

Shree Ramanuja MahAcharya left instructions about "not to leave" and about Sattvika-Tyaga, while other acharyas (Shankaracharya, MadhuSudana Saraswati, Shridhara Swami) wrote about "leaving Dharma". 

This article dwells on this contradiction, the conclusion that both angles are valid, but Shree Ramanuja MahAcharya instructions are much safer and reasonable to follow.

And that Enchanting Beauty, baffling all description, - the Beauty of TripuraSundari -  who can describe it? 

The Lips dyed red with the tambula, The Long Lashes Of The Eyes stained black with collyrium, the Tilaka of saffron on The Forehead, the string of priceless pearls encircling The Neck, the sparkling garments of gold - such is The Bewitching Beauty of The Daughter of The Lord of Mountains!

Rare "Shree Bhargava-Tantra" is being cited in "Vaishnava PanchaRatra Agama Katipaya Paksha" by Dr. Ram Pyare Mishra in connection with BhutaShuddhi Mahatva:



I have added this Tantra in my future purchases list, because it is available on exoticindia (just 20 usd). 

While scrolling via "Table of Contents" I have noticed that "Shree Bhargava-Tantra" has a separate Khanda, devoted to Shree Ashtakshara-Mantra!!!!!!!!!!!
