Kārttikeya
यत्र वृक्षा मधुफला दिव्यपुष्पफलोपगा: । पुष्पाणि च सुगन्धीनि दिव्यानि द्विजसत्तम
yatra vṛkṣā madhuphalā divyapuṣpaphalopagāḥ | puṣpāṇi ca sugandhīni divyāni dvijasattama ||
ବ୍ୟାସ କହିଲେ— ହେ ଦ୍ୱିଜଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ! ସେଠାରେ ବୃକ୍ଷମାନେ ମଧୁମୟ ମିଠା ଫଳ ଧରନ୍ତି, ଦିବ୍ୟ ପୁଷ୍ପ-ଫଳରେ ସୁଶୋଭିତ। ସେମାନଙ୍କର ପୁଷ୍ପ ଦିବ୍ୟ ଏବଂ ମନୋହର ସୁଗନ୍ଧରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ।
