Adhyaya 48 — The Emanation of Beings from Brahma: Night, Day, Twilight, and the Orders of Creation
उष्ट्रानश्वतरांश्चैव नानारूपाश्च जातयः ।
ओषध्यः फलमूलिन्यो रोमभ्यस्तस्य जज्ञिरे ॥
uṣṭrān aśvatarāṃś caiva nānārūpāś ca jātayaḥ | oṣadhyaḥ phalamūlinyo romabhyas tasya jajñire ||
ഒട്ടകങ്ങളും ഖച്ചരങ്ങളും, കൂടാതെ അനേകംവിധ വൈവിധ്യമാർന്ന രൂപങ്ങളും സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടു. അവന്റെ കേശങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നു ഫലവും മൂലവും ധരിക്കുന്ന ഔഷധി സസ്യങ്ങൾ ജനിച്ചു.

Plants, especially oṣadhis, are framed as primordial gifts embedded in creation itself, supporting an ethic of healing and stewardship of the natural world.
Sarga: extends creation from animals to flora, a standard Purāṇic move in the catalog of manifested orders.
Hair symbolizes countless fine channels; oṣadhis arising from hair suggests subtle life-force (prāṇa) externalized as remedies—nature mirroring the body’s healing intelligence.
