TRIKŪṬA. A mountain. There are twenty mountains on the four sides of Mahāmeru including Trikūṭa. Purāṇas say that the city of Laṅkā, the abode of Rāvaṇa, was at the top of Trikūṭa. Mahāmeru is at the north of Bhārata. Laṅkā is to the south of Bhārata. Then how is it possible for Laṅkā to be on the top of Trikūṭa?
