In one of the verses of the Pigeon Book, this stone is described as an altar located in the center of the world, on the island of Buyan, in the middle of the sea-ocean. The world tree is located on it (as an option - the throne of the world kingdom). A miraculous spring flows from beneath the stone, which gives healing and sustenance to all things. It is under double protection: firstly, the wise snake Garafen, and secondly, the birds of Gagana.
