Udayādri (उदयाद्रि) refers to the “rising 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 (udayādri) and the setting mountains constituted the poleshafts. Mahāmeru was the support and the Keśara mountains the sharp sides. [...]”.
