Dhūmrāgni (धूम्राग्नि) refers to “smoky fire”.—Śrīśaila is said to be “above the Cavity of Brahmā [i.e., brahmarandhra]” that is, in the End of the Twelve. Śrīparvata, on the other hand, is identified with the sacrificial fire—the “eater of oblations” (hutāśana)—and is described as a column of smoke above the head. This is Dhūmrāgni—“Smoky Fire”. It burns in the Cavity of Brahmā, sending up a column of smoke twelve fingers long up through to the End of the Twelve.
