स्वर्गसोपानवत्पुंसां स्थलीभूतमिवांबरम् । शेषस्याभोगसंकाशं प्राप्तोऽसौ तुहिनाच लम्
svargasopānavatpuṃsāṃ sthalībhūtamivāṃbaram | śeṣasyābhogasaṃkāśaṃ prāpto'sau tuhināca lam
Chàng đến Tuhinācala (núi tuyết), nơi bầu trời như hóa thành mặt đất vững chắc—tựa bậc thang lên cõi trời cho loài người—mênh mang trải rộng như những vòng cuộn của Śeṣa.
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator within Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya)

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).
