  1. After the ash is naturally cooled and removed,
    kunapa water (liquid manure) should be sprinkled and
    the pits should be filled with good earth.
  2. Sowing seeds for makanda, dadima, kusmanda, and
    alambuka is good but planting is even better.
  3. In the fertile lands which are used excessively,
    seeds of trapusa or of other vegetables are sown
    intermittently.
  4. Here (in these fields), saffron, maruwaka, and
    damanaka are similarly grown in a small carry.
  5. Large seeds should be sown singly but smaller ones
    should be sown in multiples. The seed of naranga should
    be sown in a slanting position with hand.
  6. The seeds of phanijjaka (maruwaka) should be mixed
    with earth and then water mixed with cow dung should
    be sprinkled gradually and gently.
    74–75. Smeared with the pulp of a plantain ripened
    naturally and dried in the sun, a rope of the stalk of
    sastika (a rice variety that matures in 60 days) should be
    laid in the pits intermittently. Sprinkled with little water
    continuously in the hot days, it yields without fail
    sprouts blue like tamala.
  7. The stalk should be eighteen angula, not too tender
    nor too hard. Half of it should be smeared with plenty
    of cow dung and then (it) should be planted with three-
    fourth part in the pit and should be sprinkled with water
    mixed with soft sandy mud.
  8. The lower part of the stalks of satapatrika should be
    half-ripened and then in the month of Kartika (postrainy
    season) should be planted in a carry and drenched with
    water for about two months.
  9. When they are covered with leaves they should be
    uprooted and transplanted wherever desired in the
    month of Asadha (beginning of rains).
    79–80. The branches of dadima and karavira should be
    bent and planted applying enough cow dung at the root.
    They should be watered regularly for two months. After
    the leaves start growing they should be cut in the
    middle.
  10. Bulbs should be planted in pits measuring one
    forearm—length, breadth, and depth—and filled with
    mud mixed with thick sand.
  11. 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.
  12. Small trees should be transplanted by day time at
    the proper directions when they are one forearm tall.
    The roots should be smeared with honey, lotus-fibre,
    ghee, and bidanga and then planted in proper pits along
    with the earth.
  13. Big trees should be similarly transplanted with their
    roots covered during evening after reciting the following
    mantra the previous day.
  14. “Oh tree, I shall take you to a better place from here
    and shall water you in such a way that you shall be
    satisfied.”
  15. “You will grow there and shall have no fear from
    lightning, etc. I shall look after you there, like a dear
    son.”
  16. Ksirika, tuta, dadimi, bakula, etc. should be planted
    in the month of Sravana (midst of rainy season). Rajakosa,
    amra, lakuca, etc. should be planted in the month of
    Bhadrapada (when rains are receding).
