Bṛhaspati Said:: In all these holy places viz—Candratīrtha Kumārī (i.e. Cape Comorin or Kanyākumārī) the source of the Kāverī river, the holy spots (tīrtha) on the mountain Śrīparvata and the mountain Vaikṛta, it appears as though the trees Palāśa Khadira, Bilva, Plakṣa, Aśvattha and Vikaṅkata stand in one place, viz. the Auśīra mountain. This place should be known as Dvimaṇḍalāviddha (pierced through two zones), O excellent Brāhmaṇas, a person who casts off his body in this place goes to the celestial city Amarāvatī immediately.
