Conversation Between Manu and Kardama

PURPORT
For most of the trees, flowers, fruits and birds mentioned here as surrounding Bindu-sarovara Lake, English synonyms cannot be found. All the trees mentioned are very pious in that they produce a nice aromatic flower, such as the  campaka ,  kadamba  and  bakula . The sweet sounds of water fowl and cranes made the surrounding area as pleasant as possible and created a very suitable spiritual atmosphere.

PURPORT
Musk deer are not found in every forest, but only in places like Bindu-sarovara. They are always intoxicated by the aroma of musk secreted from their navels.  Gavayas , the species of cow mentioned herein, bear a bunch of hair at the end of their tails. This bunch of hair is used in temple worship to fan the Deities.  Gavayas  are sometimes called  camarīs , and they are considered very sacred. In India there are still gypsies or forest mercantile people who flourish by trading  kastūrī , or musk, and the bunches of hair from the  camarīs . These are always in great demand for the higher classes of Hindu population, and such business still goes on in large cities and villages in India.
