About : 

  • अस्त्युत्तरस्यां दिशि देवतात्मा
    हिमालयो नाम नगाधिराजः।
    पूर्वापरौ तोयनिधी विगाह्य
    स्थितः पृथिव्या इव मानदण्डः॥ – कालिदास
  • Far in the north Himalaya, lifting high,
    His towery summits till they cleave the sky,
    Spans the wide land from east to western sea
    Lord of the hills, instinct with deity.
    (Translated by Griffith)
