The verse presents sacred geography as a moral-spiritual landscape: places associated with sages and gods are depicted as naturally abundant and pure, suggesting that wisdom, restraint, and divine presence harmonize with a life-sustaining environment.
Lomasa continues guiding the travelers by describing the next sacred landmark—Ārcīka Mountain—highlighting its ever-fruitful trees, perennial springs, and its status as an excellent abode of the gods and a chief station of the Maruts.
