Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSahyādri (सह्याद्रि) or simply Sahya is the name of a mountain from where the Rudrākṣa trees are said to be very sacred, according to the Śivapurāṇa 1.25, while explaining the greatness of Rudrākṣa:—“[...] Rudrākṣas grown in Gauḍa land became great favourites of Śiva. They were grown in Mathurā, Laṅkā, Ayodhyā, Malaya, Sahya mountain [viz., Sahyādri], Kāśī and other places. They are competent to break asunder the clustered sins unbearable to the others, as the sacred texts have declared”.
Note: Sahyādri (Sahya) is one of the seven principal ranges, the other six being Mahendra, Malaya, Sūktimat, Rikṣa, Vindhya and Pāripātra or Pāriyātra.
