Amarādrī (अमराद्री) is another name for Meru: a mountain mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.9. Accordingly as Kāma related to Brahmā:—“[...] Even as I entered the zone, the living beings fell into my power but lord Śiva and his Gaṇas were not moved at all. O Brahmā, when Śiva went to the Himālayan ridge, Rati, Spring and I reached the place. Wherever He went whether on Meru (or Amarādrī) Nāgakeśara or Kailāsa, I too went there immediately”.
