कदंबानां कदंबेषु गुंजद्रोलंबयुग्मकम् । जितसौवर्णवर्णोच्च कर्णिकारविराजितम्
kadaṃbānāṃ kadaṃbeṣu guṃjadrolaṃbayugmakam | jitasauvarṇavarṇocca karṇikāravirājitam
कदंब-वृक्षों के बीच गुंजार करते भौंरों के युगल गुच्छों-से लटकते दिखते थे; और कर्णिकार के पुष्पों की उज्ज्वल स्वर्णिम आभा मानो सोने को भी जीत रही थी, जिससे उपवन दमक उठा।
Skanda
Scene: A kadamba grove alive with pairs of bees hanging in humming clusters; karṇikāra blossoms blaze with a golden hue brighter than gold, making the whole grove shimmer.
Sacred places are recognized by auspicious signs—fragrance, blossoms, and harmony—reflecting inner purity and divine presence.
The verse glorifies Kāśī’s sacred grove-scape (a krīḍāvana-like setting) within the Kāśī-khaṇḍa.
No explicit ritual is given; the focus is on praise (stuti) via description.
