Pargiter, \*Mārk.\*, p. 365, for Vaidūrya as Satpura); (3) Kiṁśulakā-giri (VI.3.117), to which the \*Gaṇapāṭha\* adds five more names, viz., Śālvakāgiri, Añjanāgiri Bhañjanāgiri Lohitāgiri, Kukkuṭāgiri. - [Previous: c7.s3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c7.s3.1) - [Next: c7.s3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c7.s3.3) - [Up: c7.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c7.s3) ## Cites (2) - [Aṣṭādhyāyī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.astadhyayi-school.astadhyayi.5.4.147) — Pāṇini, Sanskrit - [Atharvavedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.atharva) — Atharvan & Aṅgiras, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c7.s3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c7.s3.2) · Pramāṇa
