Varaha Purana 151.32: Adhyaya 151, Shloka 32
The Sacred Greatness of Lohārgala
The ‘Iron-Bolt’ Tīrtha
नान्यं वहन्ति ते चाश्वा मम वाहा दुरत्ययाः ॥ कुण्डं पञ्चसरो नाम गुह्यं क्षेत्रं परं मम
nānyaṃ vahanti te cāśvā mama vāhā duratyayāḥ || kuṇḍaṃ pañcasaro nāma guhyaṃ kṣetraṃ paraṃ mama
সেই অশ্বরা অন্য কাউকে বহন করে না; তারা আমার বাহন, অতিক্রম করা দুষ্কর। ‘পঞ্চসর’ নামে এক কুণ্ড আছে—তা আমার গোপন ও পরম তীর্থক্ষেত্র।
