नान्येनात्र नरेणापि दृष्टिमात्रमपि क्षितौ । पर्वताग्रेषु दुर्गेषु चागम्येषु च देहिनाम् । वासः संपत्स्यते नित्यं सर्वभोगविवर्जितः
nānyenātra nareṇāpi dṛṣṭimātramapi kṣitau | parvatāgreṣu durgeṣu cāgamyeṣu ca dehinām | vāsaḥ saṃpatsyate nityaṃ sarvabhogavivarjitaḥ

Sāvitrī (deduced from immediate narrative context; explicitly named in 192.83)
Type: peak
Scene: A prophetic vision of devapatnīs condemned to live unseen by men, on bleak mountain summits and fortress-like crags, stripped of comforts.
