The Agni (volcanic) mountains Aurva, Baḍavâ mukha too are submerged into the Lavaṇa Samudra. These four mountains merged into the ocean (for safety) when Indra began to destroy their wings (by His thunderbolt) and they are still visible on particular days in the bright and dark fortnights.—77-79. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 121.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.75) - [Next: 121.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.77) - [Up: 121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.121.p38) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.121.76) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahmanda.1.18.78) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu.1.47.76) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.121.76) · Pramāṇa
