Sumeru Mountain has six terraced ledges called Chakamavacara Bhumi. The first
terrace constitutes the "heaven" of the Four Great Kings and is divided into four parts,
facing north, south, east and west. Each section is governed by one of the Four Heavenly
Kings, who faces outward toward the quarter of the world that he supervises. This heaven
call Ca-tu-Maha-ra-ji-ka. That is the place of the Four Heavenly Kings, namely Thao Kuwen,
Thao Virunhok, Thao Thatarot and Thao Virupak. Down the slopes of Sumeru resided the
followers of the Four Heavenly Kings, namely nagas, yaksas, gandharvas, and kumbhandas.
Beneath Sumeru, in the seas around it, is the abode of the Asuras who are at war with the
Tavatimsa gods.
