Manu recommends it, amongst
other sites, as one where a king should build his town:
धन्वदुर्गं महीदुर्गमब्दुर्गं वार्क्षमेव च । नृदुर्गं गिरिदुर्गं वा स-
माश्रित्य वसेत्पुरम् (Kullūka: जलदुर्गमगाधोदकेन सर्वतः परि-
वृतम्)
the best fortress for a king is, however, the गि-
रिदुर्ग q. v., for the अब्दुर्ग is, in the view of Manu, the
appropriate fortress for aquatic beings, the धन्वदुर्ग q. v.
for wild animals, the महीदुर्ग q. v. for mice or other ani-
mals living in holes, the वृक्षदुर्ग q. v. for monkeys, while
the नृदुर्ग q. v. is the fortress for men and the गिरिदुर्ग
for gods. E. अप् and दुर्ग.
