Mātali’s Arrival and Arjuna’s Ascent toward Amarāvatī (मातलिसंयुक्तरथागमनम् तथा इन्द्रलोकगमनारम्भः)
तत्र सौगन्धिकानां च पुष्पाणां पुण्यगन्धिनाम् । उद्वीज्यमानो मिश्रेण वायुना पुण्यगन्धिना,वहाँ सुगन्धयुक्त कमल तथा पवित्र गन्धवाले अन्य पुष्पोंकी पवित्र गन्धसे मिली हुई वायु मानो व्यजन डुला रही थी
tatra saugandhikānāṁ ca puṣpāṇāṁ puṇyagandhinām | udvījyamāno miśreṇa vāyunā puṇyagandhinā ||
There, the holy fragrance of saugandhika lotuses and other sweet-scented flowers filled the air; mingled with that pure perfume, the breeze seemed to fan the place gently, as if waving a ceremonial whisk. The scene underscores how nature itself can become an auspicious setting, quietly supporting a righteous journey through purity, restraint, and reverence.
