*Malayācala*.—The Epic tradition locates it in South India. Jīmūtavāhana took shelter on this mountain after renouncing his sovereignty (*Bodhisattvāvadāna-Kalpalatā*, 108 Pallava, p. 12). The *Padmapurāṇa* (Ch. 133) mentions Kalyāṇatīrtha in Malayācala. Dakṣiṇādri mentioned in the *Kāvyādarśa* (III, 150) by Daṇḍin is the same as the Malayācala according to the commentator.
