### [121.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.4)

mandodakaṃ nāma saraḥ payastu dadhisaṃnibham  
tasmāt pravahate divyā nadī mandākinī śubhā //

> Kuvera the Lord of Alakâpurî enjoys the company of the nymphs there. Here is a lake shining like the Devas and is covered with the aroma of Mandâra flowers, and watered by the cold and sweet springs of Kailâsa. From this source runs the sacred Mandâkinî. On it stands the picturesque Nandana forest of vast dimensions. To the N. E. of Kailâsa is the Chandraprabhâ Mountain shining like gems and full of metal ores and thickets of sweet smelling flowers.—3-6.
