tasyāpare cāmbikeyaḥ sumanāścaiva sa smṛtaḥ

Adjacent to it stands the Mount Âmbikeya, also known as Sumanâ, where the demon Hiraṇyâkṣa was killed by the Lord Varâha. Near it stands the Crystal Mountain, Vibhrâja, which is full of herbs and gems. It is a volcano, that is why it is called Vibhrâja (fire agitator); it is also called Keśava. The wind there is very strong.—16-18.
