- The mango trees are nourished well and are loaded
with sweeter and bigger fruits if treated with water
mixed with ripe fruits of ankolha, ghee, honey, and
marrow of a boar. - The trees of the coconut type (palm, betel nut,
kataka, and date) bear fruit if watered by the decoction
of the flesh of cow, hog, and Gangetic porpoise and if
manured with the powder of the saphari fish mixed with
sesame. - The coconut trees become loaded with weight of
huge fruits and also become free from disturbance if
smeared at night with extracts of fermented liquor,
sesame, black gram, and wine, mixed with honey, salt,
and vidanga (an insecticide). - Coconut trees always produce fruits as big as pots
if they are treated with soup of black gram, salt water,
powder of barley, or husk-water in abundant quantity.
(A word in the verse is unintelligible.) - Water mixed with white mustard, barley, husk, and
oil cake nourishes trees of the type of breadfruit, date,
and kamala. - The pomegranate trees produce fruits with bigger,
sweeter, and juicier seeds of a bigger variety when they
are profusely watered with milk of the buffalo mixed
with the flesh of a cat, a blue jay, deer, elephant, and
boar, and plenty of marrow. - When properly saturated with the treatment of
being manured with lumps of flesh of the fox mixed
with the flesh of cattle and when its basin is filled with
water mixed with crystalline sugar, the pomegranate
tree bends down with fruits extremely sweet and full of
abundant juice.
50 - When its trunk is smeared with honey fully
dissolved in fresh ghee and saphari fish and when
smoked with the powder of triphala mixed with ghee,
the pomegranate tree bears fruits of bigger size. - When saturated with fish-water and earthworms
treated with milk, the pomegranate tree produces sweet
and big fruits. - The pomegranate tree, when bent with fruits is
ornamented with the skull of the blue jay. So also the
amrata tree is decorated on the top with the ring of the
neck of an earthen jar. (This appears to be some sort of
an esoteric remedy for protecting the fruits.) - Watered with plenty of triphala decoction and
covered immediately with husk, the jackfruit tree bears
many fruits of a bigger size, very sweet and without
seeds. - Kola, when watered profusely with the mixture
of yastimadhuka, sesame, and honey and also with
kunapa at the root bears fruits which are attractive,
as big as the bilva fruits and with flavor and taste like
nectar. - Karkandhu, lakuca, badari, dhatri, and jambu trees
when smeared with a mixture of ghee, honey, krsara
(spiced food preparation with sesame, rice, and
peas), and lodhra, enriched with the thick paste of
barley or when smeared and smoked well with
sesame, honey, and barley for twelve days, and
watered with milk-water at blossoming time bear good
fruits. - Similarly when the above mentioned trees are
amply watered and sprinkled with wine everyday, they
bear fruits of big size with nectar-like taste.
