It is evident that this description fits in with the Kashghar range with pleasant forested slopes, sufficient moisture and presence of precious minerals. There are no cultivated fields or terraces on the mountain, hence no compact settlements occur on its slopes, although some people live scattered in mountain caves or isolated valleys. Naturally no cities or settlements are associated with this mountain in the Purāṇas.
