Lohaṇa (लोहण) (or Rohaṇa) is the name of a moutain-peak, according to chapter 1.2 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly,

“Then having ascertained the Lord’s purpose, Purandara (i.e., Śakra) at once summoned gods for the tasks of the wedding-preparations. Then the Ābhiyogika-gods at the order of Pākaśāsana made a pavilion that was like the younger brother of Sudharmā. Its pillars of gold, jewels, and silver shone like peaks of Meru, Lohaṇa, and Vaitāḍhya piled together. [...]”.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
