Kārttikeya
नित्यपुष्पफलास्तत्र नगा: पत्ररथाकुला: | दिव्यगन्धरसै: पुष्पै: फलैश्न भरतर्षभ
nityapuṣpaphalās tatra nagāḥ patrarathākulāḥ | divyagandharasaiḥ puṣpaiḥ phalaiś ca bharatarṣabha ||
व्यास ने कहा—हे भरतश्रेष्ठ! वहाँ के वृक्ष सदा फूलों और फलों से लदे रहते हैं तथा पक्षियों के झुंडों से भरे रहते हैं। उनके फूलों और फलों में दिव्य सुगन्ध और मधुर दिव्य रस होता है।

Educational Q&A
The verse uses idealized natural imagery—ever-flowering, ever-fruiting trees with divine scent and taste—to signal a realm of purity and auspicious merit, implying that righteous conduct and sacred association are linked with harmony, abundance, and refined enjoyment rather than scarcity or violence.
Vyāsa is describing a wondrous place to his listener (addressed as ‘Bharatarṣabha’), emphasizing its extraordinary vegetation and the presence of many birds, as part of a broader depiction of a sacred or celestial environment.
