TRANSLATION

The mountain known as Mandara, which was extremely heavy,
being made of gold, fell and smashed many demigods and demons.

PURPORT

By constitution, gold is heavier than stone. Since Mandara Mountain
was made of gold and was therefore heavier than stone, the demigods
and demons could not properly carry it to the ocean of milk.
