viii. 16 (xxxix. 2). Then should he say 'Bring together four things of the trees, of the Nyagrodha, Udumbara, Açvattha, and Plakṣa'. The Nyagrodha is the lordly power of the trees; in that they bring together Nyagrodha (products), verily thus he confers on him the lordly power. The Udumbara is the paramount rule of the trees; in that they bring together Udumbara (products), verily thus he confers upon him the paramount rule. The Açvattha is the overlordship of the trees; in that they bring together Açvattha (products), verily thus he confers upon him overlordship. The Plakṣa is the self rule and sovereignty of the trees; in that they bring together Plakṣa (products), verily thus he confers upon him self rule and sovereignty. Then should he say 'Bring together the four things of the plants, in the shape of the green shoots of rice, large rice, panic seed and barley.' The rice is the lordly power of the plants; in that they bring together the green shoots of rice, verily thus he confers upon him the lordly power. Large rice is the overlordship of the plants; in that they bring together the green shoots of large rice, verily thus he confers upon him overlordship. Panic seeds are the paramount rule of the plants; in that they bring together the green shoots of panic seeds, verily thus he confers upon him paramount rule. Barley is the leadership of the plants; in that they bring together the green shoots of barley, verily thus he confers upon him leadership.
