[145 Above the Mahahimalaya peak is the Kूट, its height is five hundred yojanas. Adding these three (8000+200+500-8700) the Sutrotka Satasi hundred yojanas difference is proven. Similarly, the Rukmi Varshadhara mountain is two hundred yojanas high and the Rukmi Kूट above it is five hundred yojanas high. Therefore, the difference of Satasi hundred yojanas from the top of the Rukmi Kूट to the bottom of the Saugandhika Kanda is also proven.
