The Sacred Greatness of Lohārgala
The ‘Iron-Bolt’ Tīrtha
शृणु वत्स जगन्नाथो यथा मामाह चोदितः ॥ श्रीवराह उवाच ॥ एवं तत्रैव कर्माणि क्रियन्ते विधिपूर्वकम्
śṛṇu vatsa jagannātho yathā mām āha coditaḥ || śrīvarāha uvāca || evaṃ tatraiva karmāṇi kriyante vidhipūrvakam
കേൾക്കു വത്സാ, പ്രേരിതനായപ്പോൾ ജഗന്നാഥൻ എന്നോടു പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ (ഞാൻ പറയുന്നു)। ശ്രീവരാഹൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ഇങ്ങനെ അവിടെയേ കർമങ്ങൾ (അനുഷ്ഠാനങ്ങൾ) വിധിപൂർവം നടത്തപ്പെടുന്നു।
