Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 11
लोहासुर उवाच । यदि तुष्टोसि देवेश वरमेकं वृणोम्यहम् । शरीरस्याजरत्वं च मा मृत्योरपि मे भयम्
lohāsura uvāca | yadi tuṣṭosi deveśa varamekaṃ vṛṇomyaham | śarīrasyājaratvaṃ ca mā mṛtyorapi me bhayam
லோஹாசுரன் கூறினான்—தேவேசா! நீர் திருப்தியாயின் நான் ஒரு வரம் வேண்டுகிறேன். என் உடல் முதுமையற்றதாக இருக்கட்டும்; மரணத்திற்கும் எனக்கு அச்சம் இல்லாததாக இருக்கட்டும்.
Lohāsura
Scene: Lohāsura, hands folded, stands before Śiva requesting freedom from old age and fear of death; Śiva is calm, ash-smeared, with trident, granting audience.
FAQs

The wider passage belongs to the Dharmāraṇya setting; this verse itself focuses on the boon-request rather than a named tīrtha.
No explicit ritual is prescribed here; the context implies tapas (austerity) as the means of obtaining boons.
