Question 12 options:

Islands near Mount Sinai


Delphi at Mount Parnassus


The Ganges at Golden Mountain


Jambudvipa at Mount Meru

Answer 1

The quote describes "Jambudvipa at Mount Meru." This reference aligns with traditional cosmological views in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, where Jambudvipa is often depicted as one of the continents surrounding Mount Meru, which is considered the center of the universe in this mythological framework. The description of islands surrounded by different liquids fits into the rich symbolism and imagery associated with these mythical lands.
