The Sacred Greatness of Lohārgala
The ‘Iron-Bolt’ Tīrtha
तत्र स्नानं तु कुर्वीत दशरात्रोषितो नरः ॥ गौरीं देवीं स पश्येत्तु तस्या लोके च मोदते
tatra snānaṃ tu kurvīta daśa-rātroṣito naraḥ || gaurīṃ devīṃ sa paśyet tu tasyā loke ca modate
Dort soll der Mann, der zehn Nächte verweilt hat, das heilige Bad vollziehen; er erblickt die Göttin Gaurī und erfreut sich in ihrer Welt.
Varāha

The context indicates Umā-kuṇḍa; no further geographic qualifiers appear in this verse.
Commitment and patience in observance (staying a prescribed duration) are foregrounded as virtues in ritual practice.
