Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 A chapter in Agnipurana, called "Pushpadhyayakathanam" is replete with flower symbolism with a clear Buddhist input. Here is one sample sloka where Keshava is said to be pleased when offered eight types of "spiritual" flowers: Ahimsa prathamam pushpam pushpam indiriyanigraha Sarvapushpam daya bhute pushpam shantir vishishyate Shamah pushpam tapah pushpam dhyanam pushpam ca saptamam Satyam ca eva ashtamam pushpam etaih tushyati keshavah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
