The Sacred Greatness of Lohārgala
The ‘Iron-Bolt’ Tīrtha
पवित्राणां पवित्रं तु न देयं यस्य कस्यचित् ॥ ये पठंति महाभागे स्थिताः शृण्वन्ति मत्पथे ॥
pavitrāṇāṃ pavitraṃ tu na deyaṃ yasya kasyacit || ye paṭhaṃti mahābhāge sthitāḥ śṛṇvanti matpathe
Inilah penyuci yang paling suci; tidak wajar diberikan kepada sebarang orang. Mereka yang membacanya, wahai yang berbahagia, dan mereka yang berada pada kedudukan yang benar lalu mendengarnya di jalanku—
