The measure of the other mountains is double that of the one mentioned immediately before. There are seven Varshas (β), one for each mountain. In the midst is a large tree called Çaka, in height and breadth equal to the Jambu-tree in Jambudvīpa, and it is always adored by the people. There are many delightful provinces where Çiva is worshipped, and thither repair D., Si., and Cā. The people are virtuous, and all the four orders are devoted to their respective occupations. There is no instance of theft. They are free from decrepitude and death, and gifted with long life. The rivers (γ) are full of sacred water whence Indra draws water to shower it as rain. Gaṅgā herself is among them. They are all sin-cleansing. There are four sacred provinces (δ). There is no king and no punishment, and no person that deserves to be punished: VI, 11, 408, 411, 413, 441.—§ 623 (Rājadh.): XII, 14a, 406 (east of Meru, 'swayed by Yudhishṭhira), 407.
