In the sacred realm, there stand mighty and illustrious mountains, each renowned for their divine deeds. Among them are Ekaśṛṅga, the great mountain, Gajaśaila, and Piśācaka—towering peaks celebrated for their excellence and strength. Alongside these are Śikhivāsa, Vaidūrya, Kapila, and Gandhamādana, as well as Supārśva, Supakṣa, Kaṅka, and another Kapila. Further, there are Añjana, Madhumāṃs, Kumuda, and Mukuṭa, each majestic in their own right. Pārijāta, the great mountain, and Kapilodaka also rise among them, forming a constellation of kingly mountains attended by Siddhas and Gandharvas, who gather in reverence and joy. The grandeur continues with Śaṅkhakūṭa, Vṛṣabha, Haṃsa, and Nāga, as well as Mayūra, Kapila, and Mahākapila. On the northern side of Lake Mānasā, the Kesarācalas stand tall, surrounded by inner valleys, serene lakes, and lush forests. These places are clear, their dust tranquil, and entirely free from all suffering—a land of peace and purity. Above the mighty Meru, the center of the universe, lies the renowned abode of the god of gods, the Creator himself. This sacred place is worshipped by the lords of yogis, sages, Upendra, and Śaṅkara. Sanatkumāra, the blessed one, always offers his worship there, residing in unity with yoga, having tasted the supreme nectar of wisdom and bliss. Before Brahmā stands a radiant, pure abode, crowded with hosts of great sages and attended by those who know Brahman. Here, the Lord of the universe delights among the Pramathas, as their exalted Lord. Ascetics who speak only truth worship Mahādeva in this place, and the Supreme Lord accepts the worship of Pārvatī with deep reverence. To the east lies Amarāvatī, a city endowed with every kind of splendor. Thousands of gods gather here to worship the thousand-eyed one, Indra. Their supreme abode is so exalted that even the gods find it difficult to attain. There is also Tejovatī, a city filled with divine wonders, the dwelling place for those who recite sacred texts and perform sacrifices, unassailable even by demons. Another divine city, Saṃyamanī, is served by Siddhas and Gandharvas; it is the abode of those steadfast in truth, the righteous people of the world. Rakṣovatī is a city surrounded on all sides by Rākṣasas, where those devoted to unrighteousness and tamasic tendencies reside. Suddhavatī, a holy city endowed with all desired enjoyments, is reached by those who constantly undertake pilgrimages and are patient in this world. Gandhavatī is another sacred city, where Prabhañjana dwells, and those who have mastered prāṇāyāma attain its eternal, immortal abode. Kāntimatī, radiant and beautiful, is where Soma shines, offering various enjoyments to its inhabitants. Yaśovatī, exceedingly difficult for all to approach, is the dwelling place of the mighty Lord of Hosts, surrounded by his attendants. In ancient times, Lord Shiva, the wielder of the trident, established a dwelling here. All around the city of Brahma, the divine Ganga descends from the heavens, encircling this sacred region with her holy waters, bringing purity and blessings to all who dwell in these celestial abodes.
