kadambavanavAsini : Living in a grove of Kadamba Trees.

 

The Palace of CintAmani is surrounded by a gallery formed of gems

[manimandapa], around this is the grove of Kadamba Trees. The

BhairavayAmala says : "The abode of bindu is the ocean of nectar,

the five yonis, the five sakti angles in the [sricakra] are the

divine trees, there is the grove of Nipa Trees, within that is the

gallery of gems, within that again is the palace of CintAmani, and

so on.

 

In the PurAnas, there is also a description which says, "There

are Kadamba Trees seven yojanas in height in the spaces between the

walls of gold and silver."
