c8.207

It is to be noted that none of the peaks of mountains, nor the summits of plateaus nor high valleys in the vast region described in this chapter have been particularised or sanctified by associating them with the residence of gods like Indra, Brahmā, Nārāyaṇa, Viṣṇu, Keśava, Garuḍa, etc. A plausible explanation appears to be that the Indo-Aryans never settled down permanently beyond the Nila mountain.
