Kātyāyana: / Under the lunar mansion Mūla, one should perform the Mūla rite. Having prepared a water pitcher endowed with all medicinal herbs and all fragrant substances, one should provide it with a cloth, fragrant scent, and flowers, accompanied by white mustard seeds and blossoms. Having recited the Rudras over it, along with the Apratiratha and Rakṣoghna hymns, having prepared a second water pitcher provided with four spouts, one should place the roots above it, having put them into a bamboo vessel and tied them with a cloth. Therein I shall describe the principal roots: a golden root weighing eighteen māṣas, the seven grains, kārṣmarya, sahadevī, aparājitā, bālā, pāṭhā, śaṅkhapuṣpī, adhaḥpuṣpī, madhuyaṣṭikā, cakrāṅgikā, mayūraśikhā, kākajaṅghā, the two kumārikās, jīvantī, apāmārga, bhṛṅgarāja, lakṣmaṇā, jātī, vyāghrapatra, cakramardikā, siddheśvarī, aśvattha, udumbara, palāśa, plakṣa, vaṭa, arka, dūrvā grass, rohitaka, śamī, śatāvarī, and so forth, making up the hundred roots. Therein I shall mention those that are prohibited: bilva, vibhītakī, nimba, kadamba, rājavṛkṣa, śāla, priyāla, sūdadhi, kapittha, kovidāra, śleṣmātaka, vibhītaka, śālmalī, sarala—all thorny trees are to be excluded. One should perform the consecratory sprinkling with that.
