On the lower slopes of Mandara Mountain is a mango tree named Devacūta, 1,100 yojanas high. Mangoes as big as mountain peaks and as sweet as nectar fall from the top of this tree.

The size of the fruit is mentioned in the Vāyu Purāṇa:

aratnīnāṁ śatāny aṣṭāv eka-ṣaṣṭy-adhikāni ca

phala-pramāṇam ākhyātam ṛṣibhis tattva-darśibhir

 

The sages, seers of truth, say that the dimension of the fruit is 861 aratnis (861 x 1.5 ft).  

 

|| 5.16.17 ||

teṣāṁ viśīryamāṇānām ati-madhura-surabhi-sugandhi-bahulāruṇa-rasodenāruṇodā nāma nadī mandara-giri-śikharān nipatantī pūr-veṇelāvṛtam upaplāvayati.

The river names Arunoḍā, filled with reddish liquid, fragrant and very sweet, mixed with other scents, arising from broken, ripe mangoes, falls from the peak of Mandara Mountain and flows into Ilāvṛta on the eastern side.

The mangoes have their natural scent, mixed with other fragrances (sugandhi) as well.

|| 5.16.18 ||

yad-upajoṣaṇād bhavānyā anucarīṇāṁ puṇya-jana-vadhūnām avayava-sparśa-sugandha-vāto daśa-yojanaṁ samantād anuvāsayati.

From drinking the water of the River Aruṇodā, the bodies of maidservants of Śiva’s wife, who are the wives of Yakṣas, become fragrant, and the wind, fragrant from touching their bodies, perfumes the entire atmosphere for ten yojanas around.

|| 5.16.19 ||

evaṁ jambū-phalānām atyucca-nipāta-viśīrṇānām anasthi-prāyāṇām ibha-kāya-nibhānāṁ rasena jambū nāma nadī meru-mandara-śikharād ayuta-yojanād avani-tale nipatantī dakṣiṇenātmānaṁ yāvad ilāvṛtam upasyandayati.

A river named Jambū-nadī, formed from the juice of the jambū fruit, which are as big as elephants and have small seeds, and which break into pieces because of falling from a great height, falls a distance of 10,000 yojanas from the summit of Merumandara Mountain, and then flows to the south, increasing its size to cover the length of Ilāvṛta.

Anasthi-prāyāṇām means “having very small seeds.” Dakṣṇena means “in the southern direction.” The river flows, increasing its length to the size of Ilāvṛta (yāvat ilāvrṭam). That means it flows for nine thousand yojanas.
