Vaiśampāyana nói: Ở nơi ấy, cây cối trĩu nặng những trái ngọt như chính cam lộ; lại có cây campaka, cây aśoka, bụi ketaka và cây bakula—muôn loài cỏ cây thơm ngát, cát tường, càng làm nổi bật vẻ thanh tịnh, phúc lành của khu rừng an nhiên ấy.

Educational Q&A

The verse primarily serves descriptive and ethical-narrative framing: it presents the forest as abundant and auspicious, suggesting that even in exile or hardship, the world can offer sustaining beauty and nourishment—encouraging steadiness and receptivity rather than despair.

Vaiśampāyana describes a forest region rich with sweet, nectar-like fruits and fragrant trees (campaka, aśoka, ketaka, bakula), building the atmosphere of a serene, fertile woodland setting within the Vana Parva narrative.
