Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 om gurave namah Dear Swee, namaskar Thank you. Adhaya 56 of Narada Purana Purva Bhagam is a storage of Jyotish related subjects. Sri Krishna words on trees in SB 10:22,31-34 inspired me to look into this a bit. For those who are interested-Vamana purana: Lotus flower (nelumbo nucifera) manifested from Vishnu's navel in the month of Ashwin Kadamb tree (anthocephalus cadamba) from the palm of Kamadev Dhatura tree (datura metel) from the heart of Lord Shiva Khair tree (acacia catechu) from the middle portion of Brahma's body Kataiya tree (pithesellobiu dulce) from Vishwakarma's body. Kundalata manifested from Parvati's palm Sinduar tree from Ganesha's belly Palaash tree (butea frondosa) and Gular tree (ficus glomerata) from the right and left armpits of Yamaraj. Sarpat (rauwolfia serpentina)manifested from the body of Sheshnaag black and white Durva grass (cyndon dactylon) from the tail and back of Vaasuki Naag Harichandan tree (crocus sativus) manifested from the heart of a devotee. The list of nakshatra related trees should be this: Ashwini-Strychnos nuxvomica Bharani-Emblica officinalis Kritika-Ficus racemosa Rohini-Syzygium cuminii Mrigasira-Diospyros ebunum Ardra-Ptero carpus santalinus Punarvasu-Bamboosa arundinorea Pushya-Ficus religiosa Aslesa-Calophyllum ionophyllum Makha-Ficus benghaleusis Poorva Falguni-Artocarus integra Uttara Falguni-Nerium indicum Hasta-Azadirachta indica Chitra-Aegle marmelos Swati-Terminalia arjuna Visaka-Feronia limonia Anuradha-Mimusops elangi Jeshta-Calammus rotang Moola-Mangiferus indicus Poorvashadha-Tinos pora cardifodia Uttarashadha-Auto carpus cummunis Sravana-Calotropis gigantea Dhanista-Prosopia cinenaria Sathabisaj-Anthocephalus cadamba Poorvabhadra-Terminalia arjuna Uttarabhadra-Agadirachta indica Revati-Maduca indica Warm regards, Tijana sohamsa , Swee Chan <sweechan wrote: > > > Jaya Jagannatha > > Dear Tijana, > NamasteHVishnu Dharmottara gives an extensive list while Vamana states that these plants have emanated from different parts of His body or from other devas. > Narada Purana Purva Bhaagam AdhAya 56.204-210 lists the following trees as favourites of the nakshatras: > > vR^iSho vR^ikShoshcabhAyAmyadhiSNyeyamakarastaruH| > uDu.nbarashcAgnidhiShNye rohiNyA.n ja?bukastaruH||56.204 > > indubhAtkhadiro jAtaH kR^iShNaaplakShashca raudrabhAt| sa.nbhUto.aditibhAdva.nshaH pippalaH puShyasa.nbhavaH||56.205 > > sarvadhiShNyAnnAgavR^ikSho vaTaH pitR^ibhasa.nbhavaH| > pAlAsho bhAgyabhAjjAtaH akShashcAryamasa.nbhavaH||56.206 > > ariShTavR^ikSho ravibhAcchrIvR^ikShastvAShTrasa.nbhavaH| > svAtyukShajora.juno vR^ikSho dvidaivatyAdvika~NkataH||56.207 > > mitrabhAdbakulojAto viShTiH paurandararkShajaH| > ?sarjjavR^ikSho mUlabhA~nca va~njulo vAridhiShNyajaH||56.208 > > ?panaso vaishvabhAjjAtashcArkavR^ikShashca viShNubhAt| > vasudhiShNyAcchamIvR^ikShaH kada.nbo vAruNarkShaja||56.209 > > ajAheshcUtavR^ikShobhUdbudhnyajaH picumandakaH| > madhuvR^ikShaH pauShNadhiShNyAddhiShNyavR^ikShA prakIrtitAH||56.210 > > Of course, you must check my mistakes - a copy of the sanskrit version can be obtained from the Maharishi site. > http://is1.mum.edu/vedicreserve/puran.htm > > love, > > Swee > > > On Saturday, November 03, 2007, at 02:29PM, " Sharat " <gidoc wrote: > >Namah Shivaya > >Dear Tijana, > >Apologies, I am not aware of such source.
