[One should know] gold from campaka blossoms, and abundance of coral from the bandhujīva; / diamond from the flourishing of the kuravaka, [and] cat's-eye gem from the nandyāvarta flowers;
one should know pearls from the sinduvāra, and artisans from the safflower; / the king is signified by the red water lily, and the minister by the blue water lily;
the guild-master by golden flowers, Brahmins by lotus flowers, and family priests by white water lilies; / the monarch by the saugandhika flower, and increase of gold by the arka;
security from mangoes, danger from bhallātaka, and health from pīlu; / famine from khadira and śamī, and splendid rain from arjuna;
abundance of food from picumanda and nāga flowers, and wind from kapittha; / fear of drought from the nicula, and fear of disease from the kuṭaja;
sugarcane from dūrvā and kuśa blossoms, and fire from the kovidāra; / from the flourishing of the śyāmā vine, unchaste women flourish.
