"Now, Venerable Sir, those souls who pass into existence as the roots of asthika, tinduka, badara, kapittha, āmrātaka, mātuliṅga, bilva, āmalaka, panasa, dāḍima, aśvattha, udumbara, vaṭa, nyagrodha, nandīvṛkṣa, pippalī, saptarī, plakṣavṛkṣa, kākodumbarī, kustumbarī, devadālī, tilaka, lakuca, chatraugha, śirīṣa, saptaparṇa, dadhiparṇa, lodhra, dhava, candana, arjuna, nīpa, kuṭaja, and kadamba—from where, Venerable Sir, do those souls take rebirth?" In this manner here too, ten uddeśakas beginning with root are to be understood similar to the tāla group, up to seed.
