About these words
Flowers carry meaning in Sanskrit poetry: the lotus (कमलम्, पद्मम्, also राजीवम्, अरविन्दम्) stands for beauty and purity, which is why eyes are called कमलनयन. पुष्पम् and कुसुमम् both mean flower. Some flowers belong to particular deities — जपाकुसुमम् (hibiscus) to Devi and Ganesha, पारिजातः to Krishna.
