A flowering tree that grows in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three, with flowers that can be seen from fifty leagues away and a fragrance that can be smelled from one hundred leagues away. The blossoms of this tree delight the gods of the Heaven of the Thirty-Three, who eagerly watch and rejoice in each stage of their development. The kovidāra tree is glossed as Bauhinia variegata, which also bears the common names “orchid tree” or “purple orchid tree.” The Sanskrit name of this tree indicates that it is a “purple orchid tree” (kovidāra) for either “one who circumambulates” or “one who goes on pilgrimage” (pāriyātraka).
