3.10.18

rajo-bhājo bhagavato līleyaṃ hari-medhasaḥ /
saptamo mukhya-sargas tu ṣaḍ-vidhas tasthuṣāṃ ca yaḥ //

18. 19. And this is the Leela of the Almighty Hari, (in association with Rajas) the thoughts regarding whom free the soul from Samsara; the seventh is the most important creation which consists of the six kinds of immobile things; and these consist of trees which bear fruits without flowers, plants which cease to be as soon as they have produced their fruit, creepers that are disposed to climb, bamboos of which the bark is strong, creepers of stiff branches which do not require the support of other things, and also trees which bear fruit after putting forth blossoms—all these draw their nutriment upwards from below, and these are mostly wanting in sensibility, having but one sense in the interior, *viz.*, the sense of touch and possessed of many peculiarities giving rise to varieties.
