Sanskrit Text

शाखां शाखां महानद्यः संयान्ति सिकतासमाः धानापूपा मांसशाकाः सदा पायसकर्दमाः

English Translation

However, these all are incapable to give any fruitful result like fried barley, field with a number of pores like sweet bread, impure as the flesh, void like dry vegetable and generate malice to the heart and mind not lesser than marsh inspite of appearing like sweet dish, These are distinct to each other like sand particles and these flow inside the branches of that cane tree (Calamus).
