The mountain has diminished in size, for the Tivaras, who lived for forty thousand years, took four days to climb it and four to descend; the Rohitassas lived for thirty thousand years and took three days each way; while the Suppiyas, with a life-span of twenty thousand years, did the journey there and back in four days. In the present age, the Magadhans, who lived for about one hundred years, could both climb and descend the mountain in very little time.² - [Previous: v2.c35.1907](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1907) - [Next: v2.c35.1909](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1909) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1908](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1908) · Pramāṇa
