  1. These diseases are: taking long time to bear fruits,
    paleness, dwarfing of leaves, tastelessness, and
    prematurity of fruits.
  2. The diseases of the pitta type occur at the end of
    summer if the clouds disappear and the trees are
    excessively watered with materials which are bitter,
    sour, salty, and strong.
  3. These diseases are: yellowness of leaves; untimely
    dropping of fruits; dryness; paleness of leaves, flowers,
    and fruits; and decay.
  4. If the trees are exposed to scorching heat, the roots
    are eaten away by insects and result in drying,
    yellowness, and excessive paleness of leaves.
  5. Excessive stormy winds cause stress and result in
    breaking, uprooting, and twisting of the trees. The break
    is of two types—one when the branches remain attached
    and the other when they fall off.
  6. The trees dry up due to exposure to fire or
    lightning, as well as due to the aridity of the soil and
    absence of water.
  7. When struck with an axe, etc. the trees are
    wounded and there results dryness of all types of
    trees.
  8. Due to the imbalance of the kafa element, the trees
    ooze out even without wounds. If wrong treatment is
    given corresponding diseases of the vata type result.
  9. Due to those (vata type of diseases) day by day the
    trees lose their leaves, flowers, and fruits. The same
    results occur due to excessive watering, exposure to
    heat, or due to the wrong type of soil and unfavorable
    season.
  10. The imbalance of these elements, viz., vata, pitta,
    and kafa enhances the disease of jaundice (yellowing).
    Trees affected by that disease have their trunks, fruits,
    and leaves turned yellow.
  11. An imbalance in the elements, viz., vata, pitta, and
    kafa develops due to faulty seed, lack of treatment, and
    wrong treatment and renders all the trees unproductive.
  12. Due to the attack by ants and due to the indigestion
    caused by excessive water the trees suffer from bad
    smell, lack of original fragrance, and dwarfing of leaves
    and sprouts.
  13. Fire, wind, friction with other trees, constant
    existence in shade, inhabitation by too many birds,
    excessive growth of creepers and growth of weeds
    nearby—all these destroy the trees.
  14. In this manner, various diseases of trees should be
    diagnosed by the above-stated respective indications
    and treatment should be given by one whose industry
    is guided by superior intelligence.
  15. (Verse is missing.)
    Treatment
  16. Diseases caused by imbalance of vata can be cured
    by flesh, marrow, and ghee. The sprinkling of kunapa
    water also removes all the disorders caused by the vata
    element.
    (A quarter of the verse is missing.)
  17. The diseases of the vata type can be quickly warded
    off by liberal fumigation of the mixture of the fat of the
    hog, oil of the Gangetic porpoise, ghee, hemp, hair of
    the horses, and cow's horn—boiled and set to a
    decoction.
