Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “In those days the śūdras were devoted to attending upon and serving the twice-born. Then, O king, as I moved about within the belly of that great-souled one, I beheld many mountains—Himavān, Hemakūṭa, Niṣadha, the silver-white Śvetagiri, Gandhamādana, Mandarācala, the great Nīla mountain, the golden Meru, Mahendra, the lofty Vindhya, Malaya, and Pāriyātra—along with many others, all adorned with diverse gems. Roaming there, I also saw beasts such as lions, tigers, and boars.”
