Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King! There was a beautiful, huge mountain called Trikūṭa, ten thousand yojanas high, surrounded by the ocean of milk.
The Second Chapter describes the garden and lake at Trikūṭa Mountain, and Gajendra’s remembrance of the Lord when attacked by the crocodile. Āsīt means “there was.”
