FAQs
The verse frames the world as a sacralized cosmos: geography is not merely physical but a map of dharmic order, where named mountains function as stable cosmic markers.
Primarily within Sthāna (cosmic arrangement/locations) and indirectly Sarga (ordered creation) through structured world-description.
Naming mountains in a fixed sequence encodes a ‘mandala-like’ stability: the west (paścima) is integrated into a total cosmography where Hari’s domain is implicitly present.
