Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Astādri (अस्ताद्रि) refers to the “setting mountains”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.8 (“The detailed description of the chariot etc.”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The divine chariot of lord Śiva consisting of all the worlds was built by Viśvakarman with devoted effort. [...] The six seasons constituted the rims of the wheels of the chariot, O great Brahmin. The Puṣkara of the chariot was the sky. The inner side of the chariot was Mandara. The rising and the setting mountains (astādri) constituted the poleshafts. Mahāmeru was the support and the Keśara mountains the sharp sides. [...]”.
