Establisher of Mountains

Prithvi (earth) was curious to know about the identities of various mountains, which Lord Varah had established on her.Lord Varah told Prithvi about the prominent mountains---


  1. Mountains like Sumeru, Himavan, Mandarachal, Vindhyachal, Pariyatrak, Mahendra, Malay, Sinhachal and Gandhamadan are situated to the north of Himalaya.

  2. The mountain ranges situated to the south of Himalaya are Arunachal, Hasti, Gridhachal and Ghatikachal.

Sages state that in Satyayuga Lord Vishnu had his abode at Anjan Mountain, while in tretayuga, dwaparyuga and Kaliyuga he has his abode at Narayangiri, Sinhachal and Shrivenketachal respectively.

Lord Varah and Prithvi then flew away towards Venkatachalgiri mounted on Garuda.
