सर्वकामफलः पुण्यः सिद्धचारणसेवितः । तस्य नाम्ना समाख्यातो जंबूद्वीपः सनातनः
sarvakāmaphalaḥ puṇyaḥ siddhacāraṇasevitaḥ | tasya nāmnā samākhyāto jaṃbūdvīpaḥ sanātanaḥ
ต้นนั้นเป็นสิริมงคล บันดาลผลแห่งความปรารถนาทั้งปวง มีเหล่าสิทธะและจารณะคอยบูชาอุปัฏฐาก และด้วยนามของมันเอง จึงเรียกทวีปนิรันดร์นี้ว่า “ชัมพูทวีป”
Not explicitly stated in the provided excerpt (context needed from surrounding verses).
Concept: Sacred geography is not mere place-description; it encodes a moral universe where holiness (puṇya) and divine attendance (siddha-sevā) signal the presence of higher order and attainable blessings.
Application: Examine desires: seek legitimate needs through dharma, but refine the heart so that the deepest 'kāma' becomes longing for the divine and service to others.

FAQs
It presents Jambūdvīpa as an eternal (sanātana) cosmic continent and links its naming to a revered figure or principle described as holy, wish-fulfilling, and attended by Siddhas and Cāraṇas.
In Purāṇic literature, Siddhas are perfected beings with spiritual attainments, and Cāraṇas are celestial bards/messengers; their presence indicates a sacred, heavenly or cosmically significant setting.
It implies that sanctity and spiritual excellence (puṇya, association with perfected beings) are intrinsically connected with auspicious results (sarvakāmaphala), encouraging reverence for sacred cosmological orders and the virtues they represent.
