Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
The mountain on which Brahmā fashions the Mānasa lake.
"On Mount Kailāsa, O Rāma, Brahmā fashioned a lake by the power of his mind, O tiger among men;
— as unconquerable as mount Kailāsa, as unbearable as the fire at the end of time, blazing with such splendour that common folk could scarce behold him.
That bull among men, that Rāghava, ascended the palace that gleamed like the peak of Kailāsa to see his father, accompanied by the charioteer.
Vrhaspatitattva
The mountain peak where Maheśvara sits and teaches Vṛhaspati and the host of gods.
Lord Īśvara was on the summit of Mount Kailāśa, engaged in teaching the sacred knowledge to the entire host of gods.
> On the beautiful peak of Mount Kailāśa, Maheśvara was seated, > and to Vṛhaspati he spoke of the unsurpassed truth of Śiva.
