नाभौ समुत्थितं पद्मं रविमण्डलसन्निभम् । कर्णिकाकेसरोपेतं पत्रैश्च समलंकृतम्
nābhau samutthitaṃ padmaṃ ravimaṇḍalasannibham | karṇikākesaropetaṃ patraiśca samalaṃkṛtam
その御臍より、日輪に似た蓮華が生じた。花托と花糸を備え、花弁により美しく飾られていた。
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya
Scene: A radiant lotus rises from Viṣṇu’s navel, blazing like the sun’s disc; detailed pericarp and filaments; petals layered and symmetrical against the dark ocean.

This verse continues the cosmogonic prelude; it indirectly supports the Rohiṇī-tīrtha māhātmya but does not name the site itself.
None; descriptive cosmology.
