(Ans.] Gautam ! On a very levelled and beautiful land in Saumanas 4 forest when one goes 36,000 yojan' at the top of Mandar mountain there $ is Pandak forest. It is 494 yojan so far as its width between two circular $ boundries is concerned. It is round and bangle-like in shape. The peak
(Chulika) of Mandar mountain is surround by it from all the four sides. Its circumference is a little more than 3,162 yojan. It is surrounded by a lotus Vedika and a forest. It is having black, blue and such like leaves. Gods and goddess take rest here.
At the centre of Pandak forest there is the peak called Mandar peak. It is 40 yojan high. It is 12 yojan wide at the root, 8 yojan wide at the 4 middle and 4 yojan wide at the top. Its circumference is 37 yojan at the 41 top, a little more than 25 yojan in the middle and is little more than 12
yojan at the top. It is broad at the root, narrow at the middle and still narrower at the top. Its shape is like that of a cow-tail. It is totally Vaidurya jewelled. It is surrounded by a lotus Vedika (and a forest) from all sides.
At the top it has a very much levelled and beautiful ground. In the middle of it, there is a temple one Kos long, half a Kos wide and a little less than one Kos high standing on hundreds of pillars. The temple has three doors in three sides. They are eight yojan high and four yojan wide Their passages of entrance are also of the same size.
The tops of that temple are white and golden. Further description relating to chain of forests, land and the like is the same as mentioned earlier.
In the centre of its there is a large platform. It is 8 yojan long, 4 yojan thick and 8 yojan wide. It is clean and totally jewelled. On that platform there is a seat for deities. 8 yojan long, 8 yojan wide and a little more than 8 yojan high. The description of idols of Tirthankar, the seat for celestial beings, incense pot and the like is similar to that mentioned earlier.
