ସମସ୍ତ ବୃକ୍ଷମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅଶ୍ୱତ୍ଥ ପବିତ୍ର ଓ ମଙ୍ଗଳମୟ। ରୋପିତ ଓ ଧ୍ୟାନିତ ଅଶ୍ୱତ୍ଥ ମୁକ୍ତିଦାୟକ; ଚାତୁର୍ମାସ୍ୟରେ ବିଶେଷତଃ ପାପନାଶକ।
Brahmā (deduced from 'Brahma–Nārada saṃvāda' colophon context)
Tirtha: Aśvattha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A serene Aśvattha radiates auspiciousness; a devotee meditates at its base during Cāturmāsya, with symbols of liberation subtly implied (light, upward birds).
Aśvattha-sevā unites outer dharma (planting) with inner dharma (dhyāna), culminating in purification and mokṣa.
The Aśvattha is praised as a portable tīrtha—an auspicious sacred presence wherever it is planted and revered.
Planting (ropaṇa) and meditation (dhyāna) on the Aśvattha, with special emphasis during Cāturmāsya.
