The great 'divine tree named Rohiṇa' (para 2) is, according to the Purāṇas, the characteristic plant of this region and the people lived mainly on the juice of its fruit or its products. There are three special fruits of this region—grapes, pears and pomegranates—which have been famous all the world over. Rohiṇa was most probably one of the last two—i.e., pear or pomegranate.
