‘Let him be asked, Śakra; what harm is there?’ said the son of Fire.
Śakra said to him respectfully: ‘O mountain, by whom was the circumambulation performed first? / Speak, for you are our authority.’
Then the mountain Krauñca, confused in mind, having reflected for a long time [said]: / ‘This lord of Śacī made the circumambulation around me here first.’
[…] laughing at the gods, the king of mountains spoke thus. / Then, as that mountain was speaking this untruth,
its peak swiftly fell, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
