Section on the ‘Person’ who Entices Beings within the Cycle of Rebirth
पुष्पोपगन्धं च फलोपगन्धं यः पादपं स्पर्शयते द्विजाय ॥ स स्त्रीसमृद्धं हि सुरत्नपूर्णं गृहं हि सर्वोपचितं लभेत ॥
puṣpopagandhaṃ ca phalopagandhaṃ yaḥ pādapaṃ sparśayate dvijāya | sa strīsamṛddhaṃ hi suratnapūrṇaṃ gṛhaṃ hi sarvopacitaṃ labheta ||
പുഷ്പസുഗന്ധവും ഫലസുഗന്ധവും ഉള്ള വൃക്ഷം ദ്വിജനു സമർപ്പിക്കുന്നവൻ, സ്ത്രീസമൃദ്ധിയുള്ളതും ശ്രേഷ്ഠരത്നങ്ങൾ നിറഞ്ഞതും സർവസാമഗ്രികളാൽ സമ്പന്നമായതുമായ ഗൃഹം പ്രാപിക്കുന്നു.
