Kārttikeya
नित्यपुष्पफलास्तत्र नगा: पत्ररथाकुला: | दिव्यगन्धरसै: पुष्पै: फलैश्न भरतर्षभ
nityapuṣpaphalās tatra nagāḥ patrarathākulāḥ | divyagandharasaiḥ puṣpaiḥ phalaiś ca bharatarṣabha ||
వ్యాసుడు పలికెను—ఓ భరతశ్రేష్ఠా! అక్కడి వృక్షములు నిత్యము పుష్పఫలభరితములై, పక్షిసమూహములతో నిండియుండును. వాటి పుష్పఫలములలో దివ్య సుగంధమును, దివ్య మధుర రసమును కలిగియుండును.

The verse uses idealized natural imagery—ever-flowering, ever-fruiting trees with divine scent and taste—to signal a realm of purity and auspicious merit, implying that righteous conduct and sacred association are linked with harmony, abundance, and refined enjoyment rather than scarcity or violence.
Vyāsa is describing a wondrous place to his listener (addressed as ‘Bharatarṣabha’), emphasizing its extraordinary vegetation and the presence of many birds, as part of a broader depiction of a sacred or celestial environment.
