svargasopānavatpuṃsāṃ sthalībhūtamivāṃbaram | śeṣasyābhogasaṃkāśaṃ prāpto'sau tuhināca lam
Он достиг Тухиначалы (снежной горы), где небо казалось ставшим твердой землей — словно лестница на небеса для людей, — широким и раскинутым, как кольца Шеши.

Type: peak
Scene: A lone figure arriving at a colossal snow-mountain; the sky appears like a solid terrace or stairway; the mountain’s breadth resembles the endless coils of Śeṣa.
Sacred geography is portrayed as a bridge between earth and heaven; mountains become symbols of ascent and tapas.
Tuhinācala/Himālaya is described in exalted terms within the Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya narrative frame.
None; the verse is primarily descriptive (stuti of the landscape).
