:: 283 :Iti vsiksăurvede yonividhāne ca visadpisebhyaḥ, Drisyate yasmajjanma Sudharman ! tato nayamekāntah || 227 ॥]
Trans.--226-227 The śara plant is produced from horn; earth-grass? is produced by the anointing of mustard, and dūrvās is produced by the combination of goloma+ and aviloma plants. Similarly, in the treatises on (planting and cultivation of) trees, production is brought about by the combination of ( a number of ) dissimilar objects. The rule is, therefore, not exclusive, O Sudharman! ( 1774-1775)
टीका-ततः " कारणानुरूपं कार्यम् " इति सुधर्मन् ! नायमेकान्तः, यतः श्रृङ्गादपि शरो जायते, तस्मादेव च सर्षपानुलिप्ताद् भूतृणकः शष्यसंघातो जायते; तथा, गोलोमा-ऽविलोमाभ्यां दूर्वा प्रभवति, इत्येवं वृक्षायुर्वेद विलक्षणानेकद्रव्यसंयोगजन्मानो वनस्पतयो दृश्यन्ते । तथा, योनिविधाने च । योनिप्राभृते विसदृशानेकद्रव्यसंयोगयोनयः सर्प-सिंहादिप्राणिनो मणयो हेमादयश्च पदार्था नानारूपाः समुपलभ्यन्ते । अतः केयं कार्यस कारणानुरूपता ? इति ॥ २२६-२२७ ॥ (१७७४-१७७५)॥
D. C.-The rule that kaaryaa is similar to karana is not ekantika. Because, the scarra is produced even by means of s'rnga, by the unction of mustard-seeds the earth-grass is produced and by the combination of goloma and aviloma grasses, the diurva grass is produced.
Moreover, in the treatise on the planting and cultivation of trees, production of objects such as jewels, gold, etc is
___1. Bhutrinalea (earth-grass ) = A kind of fragnant grass; the plantb Androhogon Schoenanthus.
2. Sarsapa=Mustard-seed; popularly known as’ sarasava in Western India; Sinapis Dichotoma.
3. Dūrvā=Name of a bent grass; panic grass. Panicum Dactylon; 4. Goloma, Aviloma=Two different kinds of bent giass.
5. Vriksāyu = Name of a short treatise by Sürpāla on the planting and cultivation of trees.
