There are varieties of deer, such as karṇāntra, ekapada, aśvāsya, vṛka and kastūrī, the deer which bears musk. Besides the deer there are many banana trees which decorate the small hillside lakes very nicely.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Kailāsa is filled with animals like karṇāntra (cow eared), ekapada, aśvāsya (horse headed), wolves and musk deer. There are attractive river banks covered with forests of banana trees. The mountain was made beautiful by river banks coved with banana groves.

Personal Guidance

The musk deer carries its fragrance unknowingly; banana trees decorate the lakeside without effort. Some beauty in your life is meant to be carried and shared rather than performed.

Reflection Questions

What quality in me do others notice that I myself underrate or don't see?
Where am I trying to perform fragrance instead of simply carrying it?
