[उ. ] गौतम ! निषध वर्षधर पर्वत के बहुत से कूट निषध के-वृषभ के आकार के सदृश हैं। उस ॐ पर परम ऋद्धिशाली, एक पल्योपम आयुष्य वाला निषध नामक देव निवास करता है। इसलिए वह निषध वर्षधर पर्वत कहा जाता है।
101. [2] From the northern gate of Shitoda prapat pond Shitoda river 4 starts and flows in the land of Devakuru region. It flows ahead dividing
the tops, the mountains, Nishadh, Devakuru, Soor, Sulas and Vidyutprabh lakes and during this route, 84,000 rivers join it. It moves ahead towards Bhadrashal forest. When Mandar mountain is only two
yojan from it, it turns towards the west downwards. After dividing \i Vidyut-prabh Vakshaskar mountain, it flows ahead dividing western
Videh region situated in the west of Mandar mountain into two parts. On its route 28,000 rivers each of its sixteen Chakravarti Vijays join it. Thus with these 4,48,000 rivers and 84,000 earlier rivers totalling 5,32,000 rivers that Shitoda great river, passing over the foundation wall of Jayant gate of Jambu continent in the west, it joins the western Lavan ocean.
The great river Shitoda is 500 yojan wide and one yojan deep at its source and gradually increasing it becomes 500 yojan wide and ten yojan deep when it merges in the sea. It is surrounded by two Padmavar
Vedikas and two forests on both sides. 4 (Q.) Reverend Sir ! How many are the peaks of Nishadh Varshadhar mountain ?

The description of the height, length, circumference, capital and the like of those peaks is similar to that of the peaks of Chull Himavan
mountain already mentioned earlier. $ (Q.) Reverend Sir ! Why is Nishadh mountain so called ?
(Ans.) Many tops of Nishadh Varshadhar mountain are of the shape of a bull (nishadh). Further, a very prosperous god Nishadh whose lifespan is one palyopam resides there. So it is called Nishadh Varshadhar mountain.
