In Rājagṛha, up to: he spoke thus: "Now, Venerable Sir, those souls who pass into existence as the roots of tāla, tamāla, takkalī, tetalī, śāla, sarala, sārakalyāṇa, jāvatī, ketakī, kadalī, kandali, carmavṛkṣa, bhūjavṛkṣa, hiṅguvṛkṣa, lavaṅgavṛkṣa, pūgaphala, khajjūrī, and nālikerī—from where, Venerable Sir, do those souls take rebirth?" In this manner here too, ten uddeśakas beginning with root are to be stated just like [those] of the śāli [group], with this difference: in these five uddeśakas—root, bulb, stem, bark, and branch—a god is not reborn; [they have] three leśyās; the lifespan duration is minimally an antarmuhūrta, maximally ten thousand years. In the upper five uddeśakas a god is reborn; [they have] four leśyās; the lifespan duration is minimally an antarmuhūrta, maximally a few years. Body size in root and bulb is a few dhanuses; in stem, bark, and branch, a few gavyūtis; in sprout and leaf, a few dhanuses; in flower, a few cubits; in fruit and seed, a few finger-breadths; for all of them, minimally an innumerableth part of a finger-breadth. The rest is just as for the śāli [group]. Thus these ten uddeśakas [are completed].
