Let us see now the valleys on the western side. Between Suparsva and Sikhisaila there is a stony plateau which is untouchably hot for ever. In its middle is a part, a hundred yojanas in extent, which is the place of fire. Here fire which is the destroyer of the world, blazes for ever without fuel. Between the mountainas Kumuda and Afijana is the Matulungakasthala (the place of Pomegranate), inaccessible to beasts and covered by yellow fruits. In it is the holy pond used by Siddhas. This grove is Brhaspati's. Then between the mountains Pifijara and Gaura there are lakes extending to hundreds of yojanas. They are full of big lilies.
