SĀVITRA III. A lofty peak of the mountain Sumeru. Jyotiṣka is another name of this peak, which is not approachable. It is adorned with precious stones and is glorified by all. Śiva and Pārvatī once sat on this peak and did penance. It was on this peak that Devī Gaṅgā did penance to Śiva, assuming a divine figure. (M.B. Śānti Parva, Chapter 283, Verse 5).
