The boundary mountains (of the earth) are Himavant, Hemakūta, and Nishadha,
which lie south of Meru; and Nīla, Çveta, and Çringī, which are situated to the
north of it. The two central ranges (those next to Meru, or Nishadha and Nīla)
extend for a hundred thousand (Yojanas, running east and west). Each of the
others diminishes ten thousand Yojanas, as it lies more remote from the centre.
They are two thousand Yojanas in height, and as many in breadth. The Varshas
or countries between these ranges are Bhārata (India), south of the Himavānt moun-
tains; etc. . . . There are also (near Meru) four great lakes, the waters of which
are partaken of by the gods, called Aruṇoda, Mahābhadra, Sitoda, and Mānasa. —
The principal mountain ridges which project from the base of Meru, like filaments
from the root of the lotus, are . . . (here follow several names).
On the summit of Meru is the vast city of Brahmā, extending fourteen thou-
sand leagues, and renowned in heaven; and around it, in the cardinal points and the
intermediate quarters, are situated the stately cities of Indra and the other regents
of the spheres. The capital of Brahmā is enclosed by the river Ganges, which,
issuing from the foot of Vishnu, and washing the lunar orb, falls here from the skies,
and, after encircling the city, divides into four mighty rivers, flowing in opposite
directions. These rivers are the Sītā, the Alakanandā, the Chakshu, and the Bhadrā.
The first, falling upon the tops of the inferior mountains, on the east side of Meru,
flows over their crests, and passes through the country of Bhadrāçva to the ocean:
the Alakanandā flows south, to the country of Bhārata, and, dividing into seven rivers
on the way, falls into the sea: the Chakshu falls into the sea, after traversing all the
western mountains, and passing through the country of Ketumāla: and the Bhadrā
washes the country of the Uttara Kurus, and empties itself into the northern ocean.»¹
The Vishnu Purāṇa goes on: »Meru, then, is confined between the mountains
Nīla and Nishadha (on the north and south), and between Malyavant and Gandha-
mādana (on the west and east); it lies between them like the pericarp of a lotus.
The countries of Bhārata, Ketumāla, Bhadrāçva, and Uttarakuru lie, like leaves of
the lotus of the world, exterior to the boundary mountains. Jaṭhara and Devakūṭa
