Dear Mukta and friends,

"to the mountain" -- use accusative case.

"in the mountain", "on the mountain" -- use locative case.

One thing we all must learn is that no language can be completely
translated (with all its essence) in English. What seems similar in
english, i.e. "to the village" & "to the mountain" is actually
different if considered in Pali / Sanskrit (and relatively in Hindi
too). In case of mountain, the sense is "on the mountain" and
therefore it is different from "to the village".
