________________ 58 Dhananjay Vasudeo Dwivedi SAMBODHI Small trees should be transplanted by day time at the proper distances when they are one forearm tall. The roots should be smeared with honey, lotus fibre, ghee, and Vidanga and then planted in proper pits along with the earth आरोपयेद्वालतरून् मनीषीच्छानांतरं हस्तिमितां दिशज्ञः । क्षौदामृणालाज्य विडङ्गलिप्तमूलान्सुगर्तेधिमृदा समेतान् । Twigs without shoots are good for plantation. Those with shoots are mediocre. Those with flowers and fruits are inferior and must not be planted as trees do not grow from them.97 In summer, branches with leaves are good for plantation. Those with shoots should be planted if rainy season is to start shortly. In rainy season branches with well-formed thick stem should be preferred for plantation.98 Propagation Of Plants by Roots - Kadali should be planted after smearing the root profusely with cow dung. It should be planted in the pit along with the root and should be watered well कदली रोपयेत्मूले दत्वा गोमयमुत्तमम् । रोपयेत्मूलतो गर्ते दत्वा प्रचुरमम्बु च ॥ Big trees should be similarly transplanted with their roots covered during evening after reciting the following mantra the previous day तथा महांतोप्यणुरोपणीया स्तलापिकावेष्ठितमूलदेशाः । प्रदोषकाले परवासरस्य संश्राव्ये पूर्वेति च मन्त्रमेलान् ॥100 O tree, I shall take you to a better place from here and shall water you in such a way that you shall be satisfied. You will grow there and shall have no fear from lightning etc. I shall look after you there, like a dear son. हे वृक्षत्वामितः स्थानान्नेष्याम्यन्यगुणोत्तरम् । तथा सेकं प्रदास्यामि निर्वृत्तिं येन यांस्यसि ॥ वृद्धिं यास्य सिलत्रत्वं वज्रादिभयवर्जितः । तत्रैव पालयिष्यामि प्रियं पुत्रमिवाचलम् ॥01 Proper Time For Plantation - Rainy season is the best time recommended for sowing all types of seedsPage Navigation
