Accordingly as Śiva said to Sitā:—“[...] Do you wish to sport about on this great mountain which is very beautiful and which appears to contain the essence of all mountains? [...] Or do you wish to have an abode in my own Kailāsa, the great mountain affording shelter to the good and enhanced in beauty by the luminous city of Kubera [viz., Vitteśapura]”.
