Brahmā saw the Lord as the friend of Ananta, just as Malaya Mountain shelters the king of snakes. He was embraced by the Garbhodaka Ocean just as that mountain is covered with streams, and he wore crowns like a thousand mountain pinnacles of gold, holding on his form the Kaustubha gem, just as the Malaya Mountain has one shining peak and contains mines full of jewels. Having compared the Lord to a sandalwood tree, he now compares the Lord to a sandalwood mountain, to show that the Lord is his own shelter. The Lord is the Malaya Mountain (mahīdhram), the shelter of moving and non-moving entities. He is the friend of the king of snakes Ananta, just as the mountain is the friend of the king of snakes. He is embraced by water—the Garbhodaka or the Milk Ocean, just as the Malaya Mountain is decorated with streams. He has thousands of golden pinnacles with his thousands of crowns. Malaya Mountain is famous for its one golden pinnacle. On his form is the Kaustubha jewel, just as Malaya Mountain has many jewel mines.
