At the end of a hundred ages, one who has followed the prescribed offerings becomes lord of the seven continents, enjoying long life, health, and remaining unconquered by enemies. Now, listen as the supreme golden mountain is revealed—a mountain whose offering removes sins and grants the abode of Brahma. The golden mountain is best when it weighs a thousand palas, middling at five hundred, and lowest at half that. Even those of modest means should offer at least one pala, according to their ability and without envy. All should be arranged as with the mountain of grain, and the supporting mountains must be given to the officiating priests. With reverence, one bows to the golden mountain, hailing it as the seed and womb of Brahma, for it grants endless fruits. Born of Agni, meritorious, and taking the form of the golden mountain, it is the Lord of the world; thus, it is invoked for protection. Whoever follows this method and gives a golden mountain attains the supreme Brahma-world, the bringer of bliss, where they remain for a hundred ages and then reach the highest state. Next is the prescribed method for the sesame mountain, whose offering leads the giver to the eternal world of Vishnu. The finest sesame mountain is made with ten droṇas, the middling with five, and the lowest with three. As before, all the surrounding supporting mountains should be made, and the donation mantras recited. Sesame, kusa grass, and beans arose from the sweat of Vishnu’s body at the slaying of Madhu, and so they are invoked for peace. Since sesame alone is used for offerings to gods and ancestors, the mountain of sesame is honored and prayed to for upliftment. Having made the offering, whoever gives the finest sesame mountain attains the Vaishnava realm, where return is exceedingly rare. Such a person enjoys long life, delights with sons and grandsons, and, honored by ancestors, gods, and gandharvas, ascends to heaven. Now, the supreme mountain of cotton is explained. By giving it, one always attains the highest state. The best cotton mountain is made with twenty measures, the middling with ten, and the lowest with five; those with little wealth should give according to their means, free from miserliness. As with the grain mountain, everything should be prepared, and the offering made at dawn with the prescribed words. Cotton is the covering of all worlds, and so the cotton mountain is bowed to, invoked as the destroyer of the mass of sins. Whoever gives the lordly cotton mountain in the presence of Shiva dwells in Rudra’s realm for an age, and afterward becomes a king in this world. Next comes the supreme mountain of clarified butter—radiant, immortal, divine, and destroyer of great sins. The finest ghee mountain is made with twenty jars, the middling with ten, and the lowest with five. Even one with little wealth should make a mountain with two jars, arranging the supporting mountains in four parts. Vessels of rice and paddy are placed atop the jars, compactly and upright, as is proper and pleasing. They are wrapped with white cloths, decorated with sugarcane stalks and fruits, and the remaining rites are performed as with the grain mountain. After proper consecration, worship, and offering, at dawn it is presented to the teacher, and with a peaceful mind, the supporting mountains are given to the priests. Ghee arises from the union of immortal radiance, and Shankara, the universal soul, is invoked to be pleased by the flame of ghee. Brahman, made of radiance, resides in ghee, and so it is present in the form of the ghee mountain, which is prayed to for protection. Whoever gives the supreme mountain of ghee by this method, even if burdened with great sins, attains the realm of Shiva. There, together with ancestors, they enjoy in a celestial chariot adorned with swans, cranes, and bells, surrounded by apsaras, siddhas, and vidyadharas, until the dissolution of creation. Next is the supreme mountain of gems. A mountain with a thousand pearls is unsurpassed; the medium has five hundred, the inferior three hundred, and the transverse mountains are fashioned on all sides with a fourth part. Gandhamādana is made with vajra and gomed gems on the east, indranīla stones on the south adorned with padmarāga, Vimalācala at the west with vaidūrya and vidruma, and at the north set with padmarāga and gold. Everything is arranged as with the grain-mountains, invocation is performed, and the trees and deities are made of gold. Worship is done with flowers, fragrances, and the like, in the morning, free from envy, as the teacher recites the mantras to the priests. When all the hosts of gods are established in all the jewels, and the mountain itself is always made of jewels, it is honored as the eternal mountain. Because Hari is always pleased by the giving of jewels, the mountain is invoked for protection. Whoever gives a jewel-made mountain according to this method attains the world of Vishnu, worshipped by the lord of immortals. For as long as a hundred kalpas with a fraction, the king dwells there, endowed with beauty, health, and virtues, and becomes lord of the seven continents. Whatever sin, even the gravest such as killing a brāhmaṇa, committed here or elsewhere, is destroyed—just as a mountain struck by a thunderbolt is shattered.
