Mahā Viṣṇu and Brahmā have their places in Mahāmeru. Viṣṇu's place is in the east. There is a special place there for the residence of Maharṣis. Those who go to Mahāmeru never return. The Sun and Moon go round Mahāmeru everyday. (M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 163). - [Previous: c8.107](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.107) - [Next: c8.109](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.109) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.108](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.108) · Pramāṇa
