पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

KARAÑJANILAYĀ : Analā, the mother of all trees. She was the daughter of Dakṣa and the wife of Kaśyapa. She is known as Vīrudhā also. That was how Vīrut became a synonym of tree. It is believed that Analā stays in the tree Karañja. To obtain blessings from Analā people worship the Karañja tree. (Ślokas 35 to 36, Chapter 230, Vana Parva).
