27. On the east of Meru are Jathara and Devakuta, eighteen thousand yojanas long, extending towards the north, two thousand yojanas in breadth as well as in height; similarly on the west are situate the two ranges of Pavana and Pariyatra; on the south Kailasa and Karavira extending towards the east and on the north are the two Trisringa and Makara, surrounded by these eight ranges like the sacred fire with Paridhis, on all sides, the mountain of gold shines highly picturesque.
