आम्रजंबुकदंबैश्च प्रियालपनसैस्तथा । शालैस्तालैस्तमालैश्च मल्लिकाजातियूथिभिः
āmrajaṃbukadaṃbaiśca priyālapanasaistathā | śālaistālaistamālaiśca mallikājātiyūthibhiḥ
آم، جمبو اور کدمب کے درختوں سے؛ نیز پریال اور پنس سے بھی؛ شال، تال اور تمّال کے درختوں سے؛ اور ملیکا، جاتی اور یوتھی کے گچھوں جیسے پھولوں سے آراستہ تھا۔
Not explicitly identifiable from this single verse (context needed from surrounding verses of Pātālakhaṇḍa 12).
Concept: Abundance is portrayed as structured and shared—fruit, shade, and fragrance suggest a world where nature serves beings; it implies the karmic ideal of becoming ‘useful like a tree’.
Application: Adopt the ‘tree ethic’: give shade (support), fruit (resources), and fragrance (kind speech) without demanding return; also, offer seasonal fruits/flowers in simple Vishnu pūjā.

FAQs
