prācīnām alakailo praiḥ aṅkolaiḥ śubhasupuṣpitaiḥ | jambūbhiḥ pāṭalābhiś ca kubjakair atimuktakaiḥ ||
Sabi ni Vāyu: “Ang mga harding iyon ay pinalamutian ng matatandang punong āmalaka, ng mga aṅkola na namumukadkad nang maringal, ng jambū at pāṭalā, at ng kubjaka at mga baging na atimuktaka. Laging hitik sa bunga at bulaklak, at punô ng sari-saring huni ng di-mabilang na mga ibon, lalo nilang pinaganda ang pook.”

Educational Q&A
The verse primarily conveys auspiciousness through imagery: a landscape that is orderly, fertile, and harmonious (trees always bearing fruit and flowers, birds singing) reflects a dharmic, well-tended realm where prosperity and beauty arise from balance rather than violence or excess.
Vāyu is describing the splendor of gardens/groves, listing prominent trees and creepers and emphasizing their perpetual fruit-and-flower abundance and the lively chorus of birds, thereby painting an idealized, auspicious setting.
