The Sacred Greatness of Lohārgala
The ‘Iron-Bolt’ Tīrtha
प्रमुच्य नारदं दिव्यं मम लोकं च गच्छति ॥ ततो वसिष्ठकुण्डं तु तस्मिन्क्षेत्रं परं मम
pramucya nāradaṃ divyaṃ mama lokaṃ ca gacchati || tato vasiṣṭhakuṇḍaṃ tu tasmin kṣetraṃ paraṃ mama
Nachdem er am göttlichen Nārada-(kuṇḍa) (von den Wirkungen) befreit worden ist, gelangt er ebenfalls in mein Reich. Dann folgt der Vasiṣṭha-kuṇḍa; in ihm liegt mein höchster heiliger Bezirk.
Varāha
The verse illustrates how Purāṇas construct networks of named tīrthas (associated with sages like Nārada and Vasiṣṭha) and narrate them as a sequence of spiritually efficacious sites.
Vasiṣṭha-kuṇḍa is explicitly named; it is presented as a sacred node within the text’s internal geography.
The emphasis is on progressing through tīrthas with ritual intentionality, treating the landscape as a structured field for disciplined practice.
