Jñāneśvarī (commentary on the Bhagavadgītā) 15.144

15.144

adhaś cordhvaṃ prasṛtās tasya śākhā; guṇapravṛddhā viṣayapravālāḥ
adhaś ca mūlāny anusaṃtatāni; karmānubandhīni manuṣyaloke
maga yayāci prapaṃcarūpā |
adhośākhiyā pādapā |
ḍāhāḷiyā jātī upamā |
ūrdhvāhī ujū ||

Now, of this very tree of worldly manifestation / whose branches go downwards, / the branches also grow / straight upwards.
