Translation

The branches of this tree extend downward and upward, nourished by the three modes of material nature. The twigs are the objects of the senses. This tree also has roots going down, and these are bound to the fruitive actions of human society.

Selle puu oksad hargnevad üles- ja allapoole ning neid toidavad materiaalse looduse kolm guṇat. Peenemad oksaraod sellel puul on meelte ihaldusobjektid. Sellel puul on ka juured, mis kasvavad allapoole, olles seotud inimühiskonna karmaliste tegevustega.

Purport

The description of the banyan tree is further explained here. Its branches spread in all directions. In the lower parts, there are variegated manifestations of living entities – human beings, animals, horses, cows, dogs, cats, etc. These are situated on the lower parts of the branches, whereas on the upper parts are higher forms of living entities: the demigods, Gandharvas and many other higher species of life. As a tree is nourished by water, so this tree is nourished by the three modes of material nature. Sometimes we find that a tract of land is barren for want of sufficient water, and sometimes a tract is very green; similarly, where particular modes of material nature are proportionately greater in quantity, the different species of life are manifested accordingly.

Käesolevas värsis jätkatakse viigipuu kirjelduse selgitamist. Selle oksad hargnevad kõikides suundades. Puu alumistel okstel asuvad erinevad elusolendite avaldumisvormid, nagu inimesed, hobused, lehmad, koerad, kassid jne. Puu kõrgematel okstel paiknevad aga kõrgemad elusolendid: pooljumalad, gandharvad ja mitmed teised elu liigid. Nii nagu tavalist puud toidab vesi, toidavad seda puud materiaalse looduse kolm guṇat. Vahel sajab väga vähe vihma ning maa muutub kuivaks, vahel võib seesama maalapp olla aga õitsev ja roheline. Samamoodi seal, kus üks või teine materiaalse looduse guṇa on valdavaim, avalduvad vastavad elusolendid.

The twigs of the tree are considered to be the sense objects. By development of the different modes of nature we develop different senses, and by the senses we enjoy different varieties of sense objects. The tips of the branches are the senses – the ears, nose, eyes, etc. – which are attached to the enjoyment of different sense objects. The twigs are sound, form, touch, and so on – the sense objects. The subsidiary roots are attachments and aversions, which are by-products of different varieties of suffering and sense enjoyment. The tendencies toward piety and impiety are considered to develop from these secondary roots, which spread in all directions. The real root is from Brahmaloka, and the other roots are in the human planetary systems. After one enjoys the results of virtuous activities in the upper planetary systems, he comes down to this earth and renews his karma, or fruitive activities for promotion. This planet of human beings is considered the field of activities.

Kirjeldatava puu peenemaid oksaraage võrreldakse meelte ihaldusobjektidega. Erinevate materiaalse looduse guṇade arendamisega arendame me vastavaid meeli ning meeltega naudime me vastavaid meelte ihaldusobjekte. Nende oksaraagude tipud on meeled – kõrvad, nina, silmad jne – mis on kiindunud erinevate objektide nautimisse. Oksaraagudeks aga on heli, kuju, puudutus jne – meelte ihaldusobjektid. Puu külgjuurteks on kiindumused ja vastumeelsused, mis on erinevate kannatuste ja meeleliste naudingute kõrvaltulemus. Kalduvus jumalakartlikkusele või jumalakartmatusele arenevad nendest kõikjale hargnevatest külgjuurtest. Tõeline juur saab alguse Brahmalokalt, teised juured on inimeste asustatud planetaarsüsteemides. Pärast vooruslike tegude tulemuste nautimist kõrgemates planetaarsüsteemides langeb elusolend Maale ning alustab taas tegelemist karma ehk resultaatidele suunatud tegevustega, et uuesti tõusta. Seda inimolendite poolt asustatud planeeti nimetatakse tegevusväljaks.
