क्वचिद्वंशाग्निना शांते क्वचित्पुष्पितपादपे । गगनासक्तविटपे सूर्यतापविवर्जिते
kvacidvaṃśāgninā śāṃte kvacitpuṣpitapādape | gaganāsaktaviṭape sūryatāpavivarjite
Di beberapa tempat suasananya tenang, api buluh telah padam; di tempat lain pohon-pohon sedang berbunga—dahannya menjulang seakan menyentuh langit—bebas daripada bahang terik matahari.
Sārasvata

A holy place is depicted as a refuge—physically cooling and inwardly calming—supporting worship and contemplation.
The forested environs of Vastrāpathakṣetra within the Prabhāsa region.
