Kārttikeya
नित्यपुष्पफलास्तत्र नगा: पत्ररथाकुला: | दिव्यगन्धरसै: पुष्पै: फलैश्न भरतर्षभ
nityapuṣpaphalās tatra nagāḥ patrarathākulāḥ | divyagandharasaiḥ puṣpaiḥ phalaiś ca bharatarṣabha ||
ವ್ಯಾಸನು ಹೇಳಿದರು—ಹೇ ಭರತಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ! ಅಲ್ಲಿ ವೃಕ್ಷಗಳು ಸದಾ ಪುಷ್ಪ-ಫಲಗಳಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿರುತ್ತವೆ ಮತ್ತು ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳ ಗುಂಪಿನಿಂದ ಕಿಕ್ಕಿರಿದಿರುತ್ತವೆ. ಅವುಗಳ ಹೂವು-ಹಣ್ಣುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದಿವ್ಯ ಸುಗಂಧವೂ ದಿವ್ಯ ಮಧುರ ರಸವೂ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ.

The verse uses idealized natural imagery—ever-flowering, ever-fruiting trees with divine scent and taste—to signal a realm of purity and auspicious merit, implying that righteous conduct and sacred association are linked with harmony, abundance, and refined enjoyment rather than scarcity or violence.
Vyāsa is describing a wondrous place to his listener (addressed as ‘Bharatarṣabha’), emphasizing its extraordinary vegetation and the presence of many birds, as part of a broader depiction of a sacred or celestial environment.
