Varaha Purana 151.60: Adhyaya 151, Shloka 60
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
जो आदमी दस दिन वहीं रह जाए, उसको वहीं नहाना चाहिए। वो गौरी देवी को देखता है और उनकी दुनिया में खुश रहता है।
