  1. The same (i.e., the seed of utpala) if wrapped in
    python's skin, sown in a land full of mud stinking with
    kalapa (rotten lotus seeds) and then nourished with flesh
    water grows into a forest of padma.
    291-292. The seed of slesmataka should be forced out
    and cultured seven times with the flesh (oil) of ankolita
    and then it should be rubbed with the dung of she-
    buffalo and dried in shade. If these seeds are mixed in
    dry buffalo dung and earth and sown and watered with
    coconut water (gale water ?) they turn into a plant of
    kumuda and there is no wonder.
    Pleasure gardens
  2. Garden houses should be protected from the sun
    by thick foliage of atimuktaka creepers with honey bees
    hovering over them and flowers strewn all over by
    breeze.
  3. At places beautiful ponds adorned by swans
    should be made where trees planted on their borders
    look into the water at themselves with their eyes in the
    form of flowers.
  4. An extremely long pond should be constructed
    there with its water free of aquatic creatures, easy to get
    in with pleasure boats and with flowering trees around
    it. It should be dark with the sprouting lotus leaves and
    at places having blue lotuses (see utpala) resembling the
    black pupils in the eyes of beautiful women.
  5. At some place a pond may be constructed holding
    the reflection of the garden in its extremely clear water
    appearing like a garden growing in the midst of water.
    At other places a pond may be planned looking as
    though filled with abundance of the moon rays leaving
    the existence of water only to be guessed.

  6. At intermittent places (in the garden), canopies—
    white like crystal and adorned with plantain trees—
    should be constructed where ample and gentle breeze
    should be blowing through the openings. The house—
    a plantain abode—white like the Himalaya mountain,
    well ventilated, and concealed by trees laden with
    fragrant flowers should be constructed amidst them
    (canopies).
  7. At some place in the garden a well should be
    dug and constructed with stones all around having
    plenty of sweet water useful for sprinkling all the trees
    around.
  8. At regular intervals of time a powder of anjana,
    musta, usira (the fragrant root of khus), naga, kosataka,
    and amalaka along with the fruits of kataka should be
    put in ample quantity in the well.
  9. If the well water becomes turbid, bitter, tasteless,
    salty or foul smelling, it becomes clear, tasty, fragrant,
    and having many other good properties by the (above
    said) treatment.
    Natural indications of groundwater
    for construction of wells
  10. Currents of water rise upward from the nether
    world and spread in all the directions beneath the
    ground. Investigating these, one should plan wells.
  11. If canes grow in a waterless region at a distance of
    three hands, currents flow to the west of it at the depth
    of one and half man-height. It is the west current that
    flows there.
  12. On digging the depth of half a man-height if a
    frog of whitish color and yellowish soil are seen then
