A Yugandharasāgara³ is also sometimes mentioned, and was probably a sea between Yugandhara and the next mountain range. When the Buddha reached Tāvatiṃsa in three strides, his first stride was from the earth to Yugandhara.⁴ It was on the summit of Yugandhara that Assagutta convened an assembly of the monks in order to discuss their plan of campaign against Milinda.⁵ The sun is mentioned as first rising over Yugandhara,⁶ hence the expression "Like the morning sun over Yugandhara."⁷
