Airāvata⁴, a varsha. § 574 (Jambūkh.): VI, 6, 232; 8, 296. On the north of Ṛṅgavat and up to the border of the sea is the Parsha Airāvata, superior to all because of the peak (see the note of PCR., p. 28). The sun gives no heat there, and the men are not subject to decay; the moon with the stars is the only source of light. The men have the complexion and the fragrance of the lotus, their eyes do not wink, without food, with agreeable scent, fallen from Devaloka, without passions (virajaso), living for 13,000 years.
