sā parikramya vai meruṃ jambūmūlaṃ punarnadī /
viśati dvijaśārdūla ! pīyamānā janaiśca taiḥ //

The fruits which the jambu[22] tree produces on the mountain Gandhamādana, are as large as an elephant’s body; they fall on the top of the mountain. From their juice springs the famous Jambū river, in which is found the gold called Jāmbūnada. That river passes around Meru and then enters Jambūmūla, O brāhman; and those people drink of it.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
