Verse 6.80.29

श्रीशैले सिद्धदेशे च मेर्वादौ वा निवासतः ।
सिद्धिरित्यपि विस्तारः कृतार्थ प्रकृतार्थहा ॥ २९ ॥

śrīśaile siddhadeśe ca mervādau vā nivāsataḥ |
siddhirityapi vistāraḥ kṛtārtha prakṛtārthahā || 29 ||

The mount Meru and Himalaya, and some sacred spots and holy places, are mentioned as the seats of divine inspiration; but a full description of them, will tend to the violation of holy meditation or yoga.
