Feature of DvIpa Deva Ocean
---------------- ------------- ----------------
Indian fig tree sun sugar cane juice
{Plaksa)
Silk-cotton tree moon liquor
(Salmali)
Kusa grass fire (Agni) ghee
Mt. Kraunca water (Varuna) milk
fig tree (Saka) air (Vayu) yogurt
Lotus (Puskara) Brahma fresh water
----------------------------------------------------------
In the rows of the above table there seem to be some relationships:
Fire and ghee are used in fire sacrifices.
A lotus is the source of Brahma's origin.
> From your knowledge of the PurANas and similar writings are their other
relationships
between the features of the dvIpas and the demigods (devas) or the demigods
(devas) and the oceans that you are aware of?
Thank you for your help.
