In the Milk-Ocean, the foremost of oceans—where nectar was once churned—there rise mountains named Candra and Droṇa; there those supreme medicinal herbs are found.

"There, where the milky ocean, the foremost of oceans, was churned, two mountains have risen by the name Chandra and Drona. The supreme herbs of medicine are present there."

Dharma is supported by sacred resources rightly sought for healing; the verse ties medicine and restoration to a sanctified cosmic history (amṛta-manthana).

Purposeful discernment—knowing where to seek remedies and acting with informed direction.
