और्वकः
Harry Spier
Dear list members,
I'm trying to understand the introductory story to a list of 108 names of Ganesha in the Mudgala purana. The episode is attached to this email.
In verse 3 what is the meaning of और्वकः . Is it a name? If so, is it the name of the son of Shaunaka or the name of someone else?
शमीसमीपगो हर्षसंयुक्तस्तत और्वकः |
तताप तप उग्रं स शमीसंयोगकारणात् ||३||
Thanks,
Vishvas Vasuki
You seem to have remarkably high resolution copy of the purANa (compared to copies on archive). Could you share the entire file, please? Then we can OCR, proofread and better answer such questions by searching.

After
Shaunaka joyfully approached Dhaumya and told him a story,
he
also was joyful.

साक्षाद्गणेशरूपश्च सर्वेषां वन्द्य आदरात् ||२||
My son, my treasure, a giver of all powers, went to the forest and actually in the form of Ganesha he was worshipped by everyone out of respect.

Then
Aurvaka joyfully went near the Shami tree. There he practiced severe
austerities.
From
that he became fused with the Shami tree.

Thank you Mohan for this background.
The story here seems to have the same characters .Looking at the first 3 verses with my very tentative translation below. I'm trying to determine1) In verse 1 is it Shaunaka or Dhaumya who is telling the story?
2) I.e. in verse 2 does मे . . . पुत्रः refer to to Shaunaka's son or Dhaumya's son?
3) Does धन्यो मे वृक्षगः पुत्रः " my treasure, my forest gone son" in verse 2 and और्वकः "Aurvaka" in verse 3 refer to the same person?

1. In verse 1 Dhaumya is telling Shaunaka the 'the'(not a) 'news'(and not story).[The root 'कथ' = English meaning : to speak, to tell, to state, to explain, to narrate]
2. The verse 2 refers to 'Mandaara', who is Dhaumya's son and Shaunaka's disciple/hermit boy.[ पूजितः शौनकेनैव मंदारं शिष्यमुत्तमम् । शौनकस्य ददर्शाऽसौ विद्याढ्यं धौम्यनंदनम् ॥६॥]
3. Verse 2 refers to 'Mandaara' only and not Aurva(ka). The person referred to as Aurvaka should be same as Aurva.
I will give a family chart of these people:
Aurvaka/Aurva Dhaumya Shaunaka
shamee(Daughter) Mandaara(son) Mandaara
(disciple/hermit bo)y

The five trees (panca-vrksa) which adorn Lord Indra's garden (Nandana) in his paradise (Svarga) are:
- mandara (Erythrina stricta) with scarlet flowers in horizontal clusters at the ends of branches; its shade relieves one of physical ailments and mental stress;
- parijata (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) with bark of gold, leaves of copper color, and fragrant, rejuvenate fruit; it arose out of the ocean of milk and was taken away by Indra to his paradise from where it was brought to Dvaraka by Lord Krsna at the instance of his wife Satyabhama. After the passing away of the Lord and the submerging of Dvaraka in the ocean, it was taken back to heaven;
- samtanaka, a tree of wonder having leaves which promote fertility in men; its identification remains obscure;
- haricandana or sandalwood (Santalum album) well known for its fragrance and cooling effect, it keeps evil spirits at bay; and
- kalpa vrksa or kalpa taru, the tree of eternity which emerged as a result of the churning of the ocean of milk; it was lifted to Svarga by Indra, and is frequently mentioned in Sanskrit literature for its wish-fulfilling quality.[ Source: Five Trees From Wikipedia] -Mohan Chettoor

Mandāra means Pārijāta according to Saṁskr̥taŚabdārtha Kaustubha by Cakravarti Śrīnivāsa Gopālācārya.
The flower in the image is Japā puṣpa.(Dāsavāla in Kannada.)
