Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Satyak&ma Gabala told the same to his pupils, and said: ‘ If a man were to pour it on a dry stick, branches would grow, and leaves spring forth.’ Let no one tell this to any one, except to a son or to a pupil.
