बह्वी विवर्धन्ति महौषधीयो मनुष्यपुष्पाणि अनन्तकानि ॥ ४२ ॥
etādṛśī kāśyapa dharmadeśanā meghena vā vāri samaṃ pramuktam |
bahvī vivardhanti mahauṣadhīyo manuṣyapuṣpāṇi anantakāni || 42 ||
So then, Kasyapa, is the preaching of the law, like the water poured out by the cloud everywhere alike; by which plants and men(?) thrive, endless (and eternal) blossoms (are produced).
