Description of the Dvīpa, Varṣas, and Mount Meru
कालाम्रस्तु महाराज नित्यपुष्पफल: शुभ: । ट्रुमश्चन योजनोत्सेध: सिद्धचारणसेवित:
sañjaya uvāca | kālāmras tu mahārāja nityapuṣpaphalaḥ śubhaḥ | vṛkṣaś caika-yojanotsedhaḥ siddhacāraṇasevitaḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「大王よ、そこには聖なるカーラームラ樹（kālāmra）がある。常に吉祥で、いついかなる時も花と実を宿している。その樹は一ヨージャナの高さにそびえ、成就者シッダとチャーラナ—功徳を成し遂げた者たち—が絶えず訪れて敬い仕えている。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an idealized, merit-sustained realm symbolized by a perpetually flowering and fruiting tree, honored by perfected beings. It implicitly contrasts purity, auspiciousness, and spiritual attainment with the instability and suffering associated with worldly conflict.
Sanjaya is describing a wondrous kālāmra tree—ever bearing flowers and fruits, towering to one yojana—visited by Siddhas and Cāraṇas. The passage functions as a vivid descriptive detail within his report to the king.
