三阇耶说道：“人中王啊，在那片国土，有些树能随人所愿赐予一切所求之果。又有人中王啊，还有名为‘刹伊利那’（Kṣīriṇa）之树，恒常流出乳汁——甘如甘露，具足六味——以至其果中亦能随愿显现衣服与饰物。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a mythic landscape of effortless abundance—symbols of a realm where needs are met without exploitation—implicitly contrasting with the scarcity and violence of the war setting and reminding the listener that true prosperity is envisioned as harmonious and life-sustaining.
Sañjaya continues his report to the king, describing extraordinary trees in a wondrous region: some grant any desired fruit, while others called Kṣīriṇa continually exude nectar-like milk, and their fruits can manifest items such as clothing and ornaments as wished.
