“While traveling, the demigods passed over the forest known as Saugandhika, which is full of varieties of flowers, fruits and desire trees. While passing over the forest, they also saw the regions of Yakṣeśvara.”
What the purport teaches
- The demigods passed over Saugandhika forest, full of flowers, fruits and desire trees. They also saw the regions of Yakṣeśvara.
- Yakṣeśvara is Kuvera, the fabulously rich treasurer of the demigods. The purport explains that Kailāsa appears to be near his residence.
- Desire trees exist in Kṛṣṇaloka, Lord Kṛṣṇa’s abode, and also in Kailāsa by Kṛṣṇa’s grace. Thus Lord Śiva’s residence has special significance, being almost like Lord Kṛṣṇa’s residence.
