MALAYA V. In Mahābhārata there is a description of another Malaya Mountain besides the Malaya mountain of South India. When the sage Śuka ascended Heaven, he saw a Malaya mountain on the way. The celestial women, Urvaśī and Vipracitti used to dance there daily. This Malaya is somewhere above Kailāsa. (M.B. Śānti Parva, Chapter 332, Verse 21).
