Comentário
Scented waters prepared by distilling flowers like rose and keora were requisitioned to wet the roads, streets and lanes of Dvārakā-dhāma. Such places, along with the marketplace and public meeting places, were thoroughly cleansed. From the above description, it appears that the city of Dvārakā-dhāma was considerably big, containing many highways, streets and public meeting places with parks, gardens and reservoirs of water, all very nicely decorated with flowers and fruits. And to welcome the Lord such flowers and fruits with unbroken seeds of grain were also strewn over the public places. Unbroken seeds of grain or fruits in the seedling stage were considered auspicious, and they are still so used by the Hindus in general on festival days.
SIGNIFICADO—Águas perfumadas preparadas através da destilação de flores como a rosa e keora eram requisitadas para borrifar as estradas, ruas e veredas de Dvārakā-dhāma. Tais lugares, junto com os mercados e lugares públicos de reunião, eram totalmente limpos. A julgar pela descrição acima, parece que a cidade de Dvārakā-dhāma era consideravelmente grande, contendo muitas avenidas, ruas e lugares públicos de reunião, com parques, jardins e reservatórios de água, todos muito bem decorados com flores e frutas. E, para dar as boas-vindas ao Senhor, essas flores e frutas com sementes inteiras de cereais também foram espalhadas pelos lugares públicos. Sementes inteiras de cereais ou frutas no estado de semente eram consideradas auspiciosas, e ainda são usadas pelos hindus em geral em dias de festival.
