इति जपः । स्वर्णपत्राणि नियुतं योजनानां सहस्रकम् । पुष्करं ज्वलदा भाति तच्चिह्नं द्वीपपुष्करम्
iti japaḥ | svarṇapatrāṇi niyutaṃ yojanānāṃ sahasrakam | puṣkaraṃ jvaladā bhāti taccihnaṃ dvīpapuṣkaram
ਇਉਂ ਜਪ ਕਿਹਾ ਗਿਆ। ਸੁਵਰਨ ਪੱਤਿਆਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਕਮਲ ਹਜ਼ਾਰ ਯੋਜਨ ਤੱਕ ਵਿਸਤਾਰ ਰੱਖਦਾ, ਅੱਗ ਵਾਂਗ ਦਿਪਦਾ ਹੈ; ਉਹੀ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹ ‘ਪੁਸ਼੍ਕਰ-ਦ੍ਵੀਪ’ ਦਾ ਹੈ।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages
Tirtha: Puṣkara-dvīpa
Type: kshetra
Scene: A colossal lotus with golden petals, rimmed with flame-like brilliance, floating above or forming the very sign of an island; the lotus spans the horizon, with tiny celestial beings circling it like sparks.
The cosmos is portrayed as radiant and symbol-filled; sacred emblems (like the blazing lotus) signify divine order and auspiciousness.
Puṣkara-dvīpa is mentioned as a cosmological region; it is distinct from the terrestrial Puṣkara-tīrtha of Rajasthan.
"Iti japaḥ" indicates a recitation segment; the verse then describes the region’s defining emblem.
