The Sacred Geography and Merit of Dvārakā
तस्य पश्चिमपार्श्वे तु बिल्वश्चैव महाद्रुमः ॥ चतुर्विंशतिद्वादश्यां स पुष्यति च निष्कलम् ॥
tasya paścimapārśve tu bilvaś caiva mahādrumaḥ || caturviṃśatidvādaśyāṃ sa puṣyati ca niṣkalam
وعلى جانبه الغربي تقوم شجرة بِلْفَا، وهي شجرة عظيمة حقًّا. وفي الدفادشي الرابعة والعشرين تزهر تمامًا بلا عيب.
Varāha (Viṣṇu)
It documents a botanical landmark tied to calendrical observance, indicating how sacred landscapes were remembered through trees and recurring lunar dates.
A western-side landmark is described relative to the tīrtha context; the verse itself does not provide a modern-identifiable coordinate beyond the relational description.
The passage implicitly encourages attentive stewardship and recognition of natural features (trees, seasonal blooming) as part of cultural heritage landscapes.
