Çāka, a tree in Çakadvīpa. § 575δ (Çakadvīpa): VI, 11, 428. Çakadvīpa, a dvīpa named after the Çāka-tree. § 575 (Bhūmip.): VI, 11α, 402.—§ 575δ (do.): Ç. is of twice the extent of Jambūdvīpa, and the ocean also is of twice the extent of that island. Ç. is surrounded on all sides by the ocean. The kingdoms there are full of righteousness, and the men never die; there is no famine; the people are all full of forbearance and great energy. There are seven mountains decked with jewels, etc., and many rivers. The mountains are: (1) Meru, the abode of D., B., and G.; (2) Malaya, to the east; there the clouds are generated, and thence they disperse on all sides; (3) Jaladhāra, whence Indra takes water, and from that we get showers of rain; (4) Raivataka, over which the constellation Revati is placed by Brahmán himself; (5) on the north of this is Çyāma. Because the hue of these mountains is dark, the people residing there are all dark in complexion; (6) Durga-çaila; (7) Keçarin (B. Kesara).
