Gentle Lakṣmaṇa, bring excellent, hard wood and make a house. My mind is desirous of residing here.
Excellent wood here refers to the rose-apple wood and so on that are fit to be used for constructing houses, not the wood of the tamarind, mahua or similar trees [that are unfit for constructing houses].
