Adhyāya 6: Pañca-mahābhūta–guṇa-nirdeśa and Sudarśana-dvīpa
Five Elements, Sensory Qualities, and a Cosmographic Island
अस्त्युत्तरेण कैलासं मैनाकं पर्वत प्रति । हिरण्यशूज्रः सुमहान् दिव्यो मणिमयो गिरि:,कैलाससे उत्तर मैनाक है और उससे भी उत्तर दिव्य तथा महान् मणिमय पर्वत हिरण्यशुंग है
asty uttarena kailāsaṁ mainākaṁ parvataṁ prati | hiraṇyaśṛṅgaḥ sumahān divyo maṇimayo giriḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「カイラーサ山の北にはマイナーカ山があり、さらに北方には、宝玉のごとく輝く大いなる天なる峰、ヒランヤシュリンガ（Hiraṇyaśṛṅga）がそびえ立つ。」

The verse underscores that human events—especially war—are set within a larger sacred and cosmic landscape. Remembering this wider order encourages humility and ethical reflection amid conflict.
Sañjaya is describing northern sacred mountains, placing Kailāsa, then Maināka to its north, and beyond that the divine jewel-like peak Hiraṇyaśṛṅga, as part of a broader geographic/cosmic description.
