nigīrṇatvācca girayaḥ parvabandhācca parvatāḥ
śākadvīpe tu vai śākaḥ parvatastena cocyate //
The Mount Sâka is in Sâkadvîpa, and is named as such.—36.
The mountains are called Giri because they swallow (_i.e._, hide everything Nigîrṇa); and because they fill up (space), therefore they are called Parvata.—35.
