A mountain. This is in the range of the हिमालय s. परमशिव performs his frequent penances at this place. शिव freely rambles for pleasure with his army of goblins in the caves and shades of trees in this place. Everyday the साध्यस् , रुद्रस् , विश्वदेवतास् , वसुस् , यम , वरुण , भूतस् , devils, नासत्यस् , अश्विन्स् , गन्धर्वस् , celestial maidens, यक्षस् , देवर्षिस् , आदित्यस् , मरुत्स् , and यातुधानस् come to this mountain to worship शिव . There is neither heat nor cold here. Greying of hairs or rugosity is unknown here. There is no hunger or thirst either. None dies here. On the sides of this mountain gold lies spread like sunlight.
