Varaha Purana 151.55: Adhyaya 151, Shloka 55
The Sacred Greatness of Lohārgala
The ‘Iron-Bolt’ Tīrtha
अथात्र मुंचते प्राणान्मम कर्मपरायणः ॥ वैश्वानरं समुत्सृज्य मम लोकं स गच्छति
athātra muñcate prāṇān mama karma-parāyaṇaḥ || vaiśvānaraṃ samutsṛjya mama lokaṃ sa gacchati
जब कोई यहाँ अपना साँस छोड़ता है और भगवान के काम में लगा रहता है, वो वैश्वानर छोड़ के मेरे पास आता है। मेरे पास आने के बाद वो मेरे लोक में जाता है।
