==Trivia==
* Before sufficient progression in the quest The World of Aranara:
** The Statue of The Seven is not shown on the map.
** The area surrounding the Statue of The Seven and the area north of it, including the cave with the Tree of Dreams, is covered by terrain and cannot be accessed. When traveling north on the path that should pass the Statue of The Seven, the path abruptly ends at a cliff-face. (This cliff-face appears uncolored like normal terrain under Elemental Sight.)
** Players can step into this area freely.
** Vanarana is in its dream state and therefore has the dream lighting as well as harvestable Viparyas and no Padisarahs.
* When approaching the center lake of this area, the background music will dynamically transition into a version with a singing voice.
* Even the Aranara feel that "Mahavanaranapna" is too long for a name. 
===Etymology===
* Vanarana may be derived from a combination of two Sanskrit words, which means "forest,"Wisdom Library: Vana, Vaṇa, Vāna: 32 definitions and which could refer to a title akin to "chief" or "king" in Indian history.Wisdom Library: Rana, Raṇa: 26 definitions It may also be derived from , meaning "forest", "wilderness" or "foreign land"; which can refer to a "quiet" or "secluded place" in Chinese Buddhism .Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia: Aranya
** According to Arama, the full name Mahavanaranapna translates to "Vanarana of Great Dreams"; where the affixed parts of the name likely derive from meaning "great", and meaning "dream."
