About Acacia कुण्डलम्

अभिकल्पकः स्वदुहित्रा प्रदत्तस्य बीजस्य ज्यामितीयरूपेण आकृष्टः सन् अभिकल्पनम् आरब्धवान्। "प्रकृतौ न किमपि पूर्णम्, सर्वं च पूर्णम्" इति प्रथमः विचारः उदेति यदा कश्चन एतत् कुण्डलयुग्मं पश्यति। कुण्डलस्य आकृतिः चिक्कणा सुन्दरा च अस्ति, रत्नानि च भूमेः निर्गच्छन्ती बीजानीव भवन्ति, भवतः अवधानाय आह्वयन्ति। एतत् अत्यन्तम् अनुपमम्, प्रकृतिः, आभूषणं च निश्चयेन।
