The Sacred Greatness of Lohārgala
The ‘Iron-Bolt’ Tīrtha
ब्रह्मलोकं परित्यज्य मम लोकं प्रपद्यते ॥ गुह्याख्याने महाभागे क्षेत्रे लोहर्गले मम ॥
brahmalokaṃ parityajya mama lokaṃ prapadyate || guhyākhyāne mahābhāge kṣetre lohārgale mama
ब्रह्मलोक को छोड़ के वो मेरे पास आता है। यह बात गुप्त है। मेरा क्षेत्र लोहारगला है, बहुत खास जगह है।
