- Next you will see Kunjar Parvat. Here Vishwakarmaa built a place for Agastya Muni. This place is one Yojan wide and 10 Yojan high. Here there is Bhogvati city where snakes live, that is why it is impossible for human beings to go there. Here lives the king of snakes - Vasuki Naga. Many terrific snakes guard him. This place is studded in numerous gem stones. Go in this place very carefully and search for Seetaa. This has been mentioned in shlokas 34 to 38 as under:
- अगस्त्य भवनम् यत्र निर्मितम् विश्वकर्मणा ।
- तत्र योजन विस्तारम् उच्छ्रितम् दश योजनम् ॥४-४१-३५॥
- शरणम् कांचनम् दिव्यम् नाना रत्न विभूषितम् ।
- तत्र भोगवती नाम सर्पाणाम् आलयः पुरी ॥४-४१-३६॥
- विशाल रथ्या दुर्धर्षा सर्वतः परिरक्षिता ।
- रक्षिता पन्नगैः घोरैः तीष्क्ण दम्ष्ट्रैः महा विषैः ॥४-४१-३७॥
