On the northern side of Meru is a tall Aśvattha tree. To the north of that is the Nīla-mahāgiri (the great blue mountain). Kaśyapa has installed a deity named Śvetavarāhamūrti there. Beyond that is the Ṛṣabhādri (ox-shaped mountain). It is believed that a divine ox became a mountain there. Its two horns are like two peaks. This mountain contains many divine medicines of which Śalyaharaṇī, Viśalyakaraṇī, Sandhānakaraṇī and Mṛtasañjīvanī are the most important.
