The
Dvaita Forest or
Dvaitavana was situated to the south of the
Kamyaka Forest. It contained within it a lake called the
Dwaita lake, abounding with flowers, and delightful to look at, and inhabited by many species of birds, elephants and many trees (3,24). It was on the south-western outskirts of Kurujangala and thus the whole of the
Kuru Kingdom. It was situated near the borders of the desert (northern extension of the
Thar desert into
Haryana) (3,176). It also lay on the banks of the
Saraswati River (known there as the Bhogavati) (3-24,176). The holy fig, the Rudraksha, the Rohitaka, the cane and the jujube, the catechu, the Shirisha, the Bel, the Inguda, the Karira, the Pilu and Sami trees grew on the banks of the Saraswati (3,176).
