Every sort of grass and straw, all plants and herbs, and others of the same class growing on hills and mountains, have the domestic mode of life for their root. Upon these rests the life of living creatures. And since nothing else is seen than life, domesticity may be regarded as the refuge of the entire universe.
यास्तु स्युर्बर्हिरोषध्यो बहिरन्यास्तथाद्रिजाः। ओषधिभ्यो बहिर्यस्मात् प्राणात् कश्चिन्न दृश्यते॥
