The tree resembles an orchid; when its branches fall, they must split into seven parts. Yijing's translation of the \*Mayūrī Sūtra\* reads: 'Head split into seven parts, like an arjaka flower cluster.' He further explains himself: 'In Sanskrit it is called \*arjaka-mañjarī\*. \*Arjaka\* is holy basil; \*mañjarī\* is the head of the flower cluster. Old versions called it the branch of the \*arī\* tree. Being neither adept in the original sounds nor acquainted with the matter, this gave rise to long-standing confusion. However, upon inquiring in the West, there is originally no \*arī\* tree.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.140) - [Next: 3.142](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.142) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.3.141) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.141](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.141) · Pramāṇa
