Mahabharata
English
Svayambhuvo vana(ṃ). § 392c (Tīrthayātrāp.): In the S. v. Viśvakarman (= Svayambhū, v. 10112) on the occasion of a sacrifice had given the earth to Kaśyapa as dakshiṇā. Angry because she had been given to a mortal the earth sank to Rasātala, but appeased by Kaśyapa rose again from within the water in the form of an altar (vedīrūpā). As soon as this altar is touched by a mortal it enters (into) the sea: III, 114, 1011^1
