pūrvaṃ caitrarathaṃ nāma dakṣiṇe nandanaṃ vanam /
vaibhrājaṃ paścime śaile sāvitraṃ cottarācale //

Mārkaṇḍeya spoke:
Hear from me of the four forests and lakes which exist on Mandara and the three other mountains,[1] O brāhman. On the east is the forest named Caitraratha, on the southern mountain the forest Nandana, on the western mountain the forest Vaibhrāja, and on the northern mountain the forest Sāvitra. On the east is the lake Aruṇoda,[2] and on the south Mānasa, on the west of Meru is Śītoda, and Mahābhadra on the north.
