पशुपक्षिमनुष्याद्यैः पत्रपुष्पफलान्वितम् ।
वृक्षं विलुप्यमानन्तु दृष्ट्वा सिध्यन्ति योगिनः ॥
paśupakṣimanuṣyādyaiḥ patrapuṣpaphalānvitam | vṛkṣaṃ vilupyamānaṃ tu dṛṣṭvā sidhyanti yoginaḥ ||
Kapag nakita ang punong hitik sa dahon, bulaklak, at bunga na sinasalakay at kinukuha ng mga hayop, ibon, tao, at iba pa—ang yogin ay nakakamit ang siddhi sa pagkatuto mula roon.
