Bound by the merit of giving alms, they attained the blissful abode of Uttarakuru, and in a moment they were born there among the Kurus. ||33||
The Uttarakurus, who reside in the northern direction of Jambudvipa, the great Mount Meru, are known for their heavenly splendor. ||34||
They have ten types of Kalpa trees, named after their characteristics: Madyaanga, Vaaditraanga, Bhushaanaanga, Maalaanga, Deepaanga, Jyotiraanga, Grihaanga, Bhojanaanga, Bhajanaanga, and Vastraanga. These Kalpa trees are made of various gems and illuminate the ten directions with their vast radiance. ||35-36||
Among these, the Madyaanga trees spread out, fragrant and sweet like nectar, offering various types of juices like Madhu, Maireya, Sidhu, Arisht, and Asava. ||37||
Due to their similarity to aphrodisiacs, these Madhu, etc., are called Madya (intoxicating drinks) by convention. In reality, these are a type of juice from the trees, consumed by the Aryas born in the blissful abode. ||38||
The Madya consumed by those who drink it is intoxicating and deludes the mind, therefore it is completely to be avoided by the Aryas. ||39||
The Vaaditraanga trees bear various types of musical instruments like Dundubhi, Mrudanga, Mallari, Shankha, Bheri, and Chang. ||40||
The Bhushaanaanga trees produce various types of ornaments like Nupura, Bajuband, Ruchika, Angada (Ananta), Karadhani, Haara, and Mukuta. ||41||
The Maalaanga trees are adorned with various types of garlands and ear ornaments, made from flowers of all seasons. ||42||
The Deepaanga Kalpa trees are adorned with gem-studded lamps, and the Jyotiraanga trees, bearers of radiant light, constantly spread illumination. ||43||
The Grihaanga Kalpa trees are capable of creating various types of buildings like tall palaces, mandapas, assembly halls, art galleries, and dance halls.
