यस्माद्यूयं त्रिभिर्भागैः सभायां बाह्यतः स्थिताः । तस्मादामूलिको गुल्मो ह्येको भवतु वो द्विजाः
yasmādyūyaṃ tribhirbhāgaiḥ sabhāyāṃ bāhyataḥ sthitāḥ | tasmādāmūliko gulmo hyeko bhavatu vo dvijāḥ
ഹേ ദ്വിജന്മാരേ! നിങ്ങൾ സഭയ്ക്ക് പുറത്തായി മൂന്നു വിഭാഗങ്ങളായി നിന്നതിനാൽ, നിങ്ങള്ക്കായി ഒരൊറ്റ ‘ആമൂലിക’—വേരോടെ പിഴുതെടുത്ത—ഗുല്മം, ഒരൊറ്റ കൂട്ടമാകട്ടെ।

FAQs
It gives a cause-and-effect statement: because certain dvijas stood outside an assembly in three groups, they are assigned (or become associated with) a single “rootless” gulma (a clump/thicket), suggesting an etiological or punitive explanation.
