Chapter on the Sacred Hill Episode: Satyatapā and the Marvel of Varāha
तस्यास्तीरे शिला दिव्या नाम्ना चित्रशिला धरे ॥ न्यग्रोधश्च महांस्तत्र नाम्ना भद्रो महावटः ॥
tasyās tīre śilā divyā nāmnā citraśilā dhare || nyagrodhaś ca mahāṃs tatra nāmnā bhadro mahāvaṭaḥ ||
उस नदी के किनारे एक खास पत्थर है जिसका नाम चित्रशिला है। वहीं पर एक बड़ा बरगद का पेड़ है, भद्र नाम का।

FAQs

A riverbank of Puṣyabhadrā is implied, with two specific features: Citraśilā (a rock) and Bhadra (a great banyan).
By highlighting venerable natural landmarks, the passage supports a cultural logic of respect for landscape features treated as heritage sites.
