Shloka 3.35.22
मारीचाश्रमगमनम् (Ravana’s Journey to Maricha’s Hermitage)
अगरूणां च मुख्यानां वनान्युपवनानि च।तक्कोलानां च जात्यानां फलानां च सुगन्धिनाम्।।।।
agarūṇāṁ ca mukhyānāṁ vanāny upavanāni ca |
takkolānāṁ ca jātyānāṁ phalānāṁ ca sugandhinām ||
He beheld forests of choice aguru trees and delightful pleasure-groves, along with fragrant takkola fruits and the aromatic produce of jāti.
(He saw) very fine aguru trees in the forest as well as pleasure-groves of takkola fruits, fragrant trees of a fine variety and fragrant nutmegs.
The abundance of fragrant luxuries evokes the broader Ramayana contrast: prosperity and pleasure-objects are not wrong in themselves, but dharma requires restraint and right intention in enjoying or seeking them.
The journey sequence continues with catalog-like descriptions of rare trees, fruits, and groves seen along the way.
No explicit virtue is praised; the verse functions as world-building, setting a luxuriant backdrop against which dharmic and adharmic motives can be evaluated.
