saṃsthāpya taṃ vipulaśailamathottareṇa śailaṃ supārśvamapi māṣamayaṃ suvastram
puṣpaiśca hemavaṭapādapaśekharaṃ tam ākārayet kanakadhenuvirājamānam //
On the north, the Supârśva hill, of urad pulse (Phaseolus radiatus) should be made. A golden vaṭa tree and a cow of gold, should be placed on the top of the hill. A pond of honey, representing Bhadra sarovara, and a garden of silver trees, should also be made at the bottom of it. The Brâhmaṇas, versed in the Vedas and Purâṇas, and able to control their passions and of blameless character and sound bodies, should be made Hotâs performing Homa. The sacrificial pond should measure one cubit square in size and east of Sumeru hill. Sacrificial offerings should be made of sesamum, barley, clarified butter, sacrificial fuel, and Kuśa grass. The devotee should keep himself awake during the night and blow conches, etc., and sing. Now I shall describe to you the way of invoking the hills.—24-26.
