मेरुपादं तु सुमहत्सुरसिद्धनिषेवितम् । भिन्नांजनचयाकारं गोलांगूलमिति स्मृतम्
merupādaṃ tu sumahatsurasiddhaniṣevitam | bhinnāṃjanacayākāraṃ golāṃgūlamiti smṛtam
वह मेरुपाद अत्यन्त विशाल है, देवों और सिद्धों से सेवित है; वह फूटे अंजन-शिलाखण्डों के ढेर-सा दीखता है और ‘गोलाङ्गूल’ नाम से प्रसिद्ध है।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Merupāda / Golāṅgūla
Type: peak
Scene: A massive dark mountain/rock formation like split collyrium-black stone; subtle celestial beings (devas, siddhas) hover or stand in reverence; the peak is labeled Golāṅgūla.
A tīrtha is not only a ritual spot but a divine ecology—inhabited and honored by higher beings—worthy of reverence.
Merupāda, also known as Golāṅgūla, described as a vast, sacred, siddha-frequented terrain.
No explicit ritual is given; the verse provides a māhātmya-style description of the site’s sanctity.
