The Sacred Geography and Merit of Dvārakā
देवलोकं समुत्सृज्य मम लोके महीयते ॥ प्लक्षो वै तत्र सुश्रोणि शतशाखो महाद्रुमः ॥
devalokaṃ samutsṛjya mama loke mahīyate || plakṣo vai tatra suśroṇi śataśākho mahādrumaḥ ||
देवलोक छोड़ के वो मेरे लोक में बड़ा बन जाता है। वहाँ एक बड़ा पेड़ है, प्लक्ष नाम का। उसकी सौ ब्रांचेज़ हैं।
