अथातः संप्रवक्ष्यामि तिलशैलं विधानतः।। यत्प्रदानान्नरो याति विष्णुलोकमनुत्तमम्
Now, I shall explain the procedure for the sesame mountain. By giving it, a man attains the unsurpassed world of Vishnu.
उत्तमो दशभिर्द्रोणैर्मध्यमः पंचभिः स्मृतः।। त्रिभिः कनिष्ठो राजेंद्र तिलशैलः प्रकीर्तितः
The highest is said to be with ten droṇas, the middle with five, and the lowest with three, O king; thus the sesame mountain is described.
पूर्ववच्चापरं सर्वं विष्कंभपर्वतादिकम्।। दानमंत्रं प्रवक्ष्यामि यथा च नृपपुंगव
Everything else, as before, applies to the Viṣkambha mountain and others. I shall declare the donation mantra, and how it should be done, O foremost of kings.
यस्मान्मधुवधे विष्णोर्देहस्वेदसमुद्भवाः।। तिलाः कुशाश्च माषाश्च तस्माच्छांतिप्रदो भव
Because sesame, kuśa grass, and black gram arise from the sweat of Vishnu's body at the killing of Madhu, therefore be the giver of peace.
हव्यकव्येषु यस्माच्च तिला एव हि रक्षणम्।। लक्ष्मीं च कुरु शैलेंद्र तिलाचल नमोस्तु ते
Because sesame is indeed the protection in oblations and offerings, establish prosperity, O lord of mountains; salutations to you, sesame mountain.
इत्यामंत्र्य च यो दद्यात्तिलाचलमनुत्तमम्।। स वैष्णवं पदं याति पुनरावृत्तिदुर्लभम्
Thus, having invoked, whoever gives the unsurpassed sesame mountain, he attains the Vaishnava abode, where return is difficult.
कार्पासपर्वतश्चैव विंशद्भारैरिहोत्तमः।। दशभिर्मध्यमः प्रोक्तः कनिष्ठः पंचभिर्मतः
The cotton mountain here is best with twenty weights, the middle is said to be with ten, and the lowest is considered with five.
भारेणाल्पधनो दद्याद्वित्तशाठ्यविवर्जितः।। धान्यपर्वतवत्सर्वमासाद्यं राजसत्तम
One with little wealth should give according to his means, free from deceit regarding wealth. Everything is to be accomplished as with the grain mountain, O best of kings.
प्रभातायां च शर्वर्यां दद्यादिदमुदीरयेत्।। त्वमेवावरणं यस्माल्लोकानामिह सर्वदा
At dawn, he should give this and recite: 'Because you are always the covering for all worlds here.'
कार्पासाद्रे नमस्तस्मादघौघ ध्वंसनो भव।। इति कार्पासशैलेंद्रं यो दद्याच्छर्वसंनिधौ
Salutations to the cotton mountain; therefore, be the destroyer of the mass of sins. Thus, whoever gives the cotton mountain in the presence of all—
रुद्रलोके वसेत्कल्पं ततो राजा भवेदिह।। अथातः संप्रवक्ष्यामि घृताचलमनुत्तमम्
He dwells in Rudra's world for an aeon, then becomes a king here. Now, I shall explain the unsurpassed ghee mountain.
तेजोमयं घृतं पुण्यंमहापातकनाशनम्।। विंशत्या घृतकुंभानामुत्तमः स्याद्घृताचलः
Ghee, full of radiance and merit, destroys great sins. The best ghee mountain is made with twenty jars of ghee.
दशभिर्मध्यमः प्रोक्तः पंचभिस्त्वधमः स्मृतः।। अल्पवित्तोपि कुर्वीत द्वाभ्यामिह विधानतः
The middle is said to be with ten, the lowest is remembered as with five. Even one with little wealth should make it with two, according to the procedure here.
विष्कम्भपर्वतांस्तद्वच्चतुर्भागेन कल्पयेत्।। शालितंडुलपात्राणि कुंभोपरि निवेशयेत्
He should prepare the Viṣkambha mountains likewise, using a quarter portion. He should place vessels of rice and paddy on top of the jars.
कारयेत्संहतानुच्चान्यथाशोभं विधानतः।। वेष्टयेच्छुक्लवासोभिरिक्षुदंडफलादिकैः
One should construct the mountain in a manner that is both compact and elevated, so that it appears pleasing according to the prescribed method; it should be wrapped with white cloths and adorned with sugarcane, sticks, fruits, and similar items.
धान्यपर्वतवत्संर्वं विधानमिह पठ्यते।। अधिवासनपूर्वं हि तद्वद्धोमसुरार्चनम्
The arrangement here is described as resembling a mountain of grain; it should be preceded by consecration, and likewise, offerings and worship of the gods are to be performed.
प्रभातायां च शर्वर्यां गुरवे विनिवेदयेत्।। विष्कंभपर्वतांस्तद्वदृत्विग्भ्यः शांतमानसः
At dawn, one should present it to the teacher; and, with a peaceful mind, offer the grain-mountains similarly to the officiating priests.
संयोगाद्घृतमुत्पन्नं यस्मादमृततेजसि।। तस्माद्घृतार्चिर्विश्वात्मा प्रीयतामत्र शंकर
Because ghee arises from the union with the essence of nectar, therefore, may Śaṃkara, the universal soul, be pleased here by the flame of ghee.
यस्मात्तेजोमयं ब्रह्म घृते चैव व्यवस्थितम्।। घृतपर्वतरूपेण तस्मान्नः पाहि भूधर
Since the radiant Brahman is established in ghee, therefore, O supporter of the earth, protect us in the form of the ghee-mountain.
अनेन विधिना दद्याद्घृताचलमनुत्तमम्।। महापातकयुक्तोपि लोकमायाति शांभवम्
By this method, one should give the supreme ghee-mountain; even if burdened with great sins, one attains the world of Śaṃbhu.
हंससारसयुक्तेन किंकिणीजालमालिना।। विमानेनाप्सरोभिश्च सिद्धविद्याधरैर्वृतः
Surrounded by swans and cranes, adorned with a net of bells, in a celestial vehicle together with apsarases, and accompanied by accomplished beings and vidyādharas,
विचरेत्पितृभिः सार्धं यावदाभूतसंप्लवम्।। अथातः संप्रवक्ष्यामि रत्नाचलमनुत्तमम्
He will wander with his ancestors until the dissolution of creation; now, I shall explain the supreme jewel-mountain.
मुक्ताफलसहस्रेण पर्वतस्स्यादनुत्तमः।। मध्यमः पंचशतिकस्त्रिशतेनाधमः स्मृतः
The best mountain is made with a thousand pearls; the middle one with five hundred, and the lowest is said to be with three hundred.
चतुर्थांशेन विष्कंभ पर्वताः स्युः समन्ततः।। पूर्वेण वज्रगोमेदैर्दक्षिणेनेंद्रनीलकैः
The grain-mountains should be made all around in a fourth part; on the east with diamonds and garnets, on the south with sapphires,
पुष्यरागैर्युतः कार्यो विद्वद्भिर्गंधमादनः।। वैडूर्यविद्रुमैः पश्चात्संमिश्रो विपुलाचलः
The learned should make it with rubies and fragrant substances; in the west, the great mountain should be mixed with lapis lazuli and coral.
पद्मरागैः स सौवर्णैरुत्तरेणापि विन्यसेत्।। धान्यपर्वतवत्सर्वमत्रापि परिकल्पयेत्
In the north, it should be set with padmarāga gems and gold; everything should be arranged here just as with the grain-mountain.
तद्वदावाहनं कृत्वा वृक्षान्देवांश्च कांचनान्।। पूजयेत्पुष्पगन्धाद्यैः प्रभाते स्याद्विसर्जनम्
Similarly, after invoking, one should make golden trees and gods, and worship them with flowers, fragrances, and so forth; in the morning, dismissal should be performed.
पूर्ववद्गुरुऋत्विग्भ्य इमं मंत्रमुदीरयेत्।। यथा देवगणाः सर्वे सर्वरत्नेष्ववस्थिताः
As before, to the teacher and priests, one should recite this mantra: 'Just as all the hosts of gods are established in all the jewels,'
त्वं च रत्नमयो नित्यमतः पाहि महाचल।। यस्माद्रत्नप्रदानेन तुष्टिमेति जनार्दनः
'And you are eternally composed of jewels, therefore protect us, O great mountain; since by the giving of jewels, Janārdana attains satisfaction,'
पूजामंत्रप्रसादेन तस्मान्नः पाहि पर्वत।। अनेन विधिना यस्तु दद्याद्रत्नमयं गिरिम्
'By the favor of the worship mantra, therefore protect us, O mountain; whoever gives a jewel-made mountain by this method,'
