Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSuvarṇādri (सुवर्णाद्रि) refers to the “golden mountain Meru”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, after Bṛhaspati spoke to the Gods: “[...] On seeing the gods routed, the Asura, Jalandhara, the son of the ocean, entered Amarāvatī with sounds of victory from the conches and drums. When the Asura entered the city, Indra and other gods entered the cavern of the golden mountain Meru (suvarṇādri-guhā) and remained there. They had been extremely harrassed by the Asuras. O sage, at the same time the Asura appointed Śumbha and other Asuras severally in the places of authority of Indra and others. He then went into the cavern of the golden mountain”.
