Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

The spreading, the bushy, the one-spathed, the extending herbs do I address; those rich in shoots, jointed (kāṇḍín), that have spreading branches (víçākha); I call for thee the plants that belong to all the gods, formidable, giving life to men.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
