बीजान्तवृक्षता पुत्रि बृहद्वृक्षतया यथा ॥ १२ ॥

yayā pūrvaṃ viyuktāsi tanvā jaladarūpayā |
bījāntavṛkṣatā putri bṛhadvṛkṣatayā yathā || 12 ||

Regain thy cloud-like shape whereof thou art deprived at present, and revive as a sprout from thy pinnate root, to become like a big tree growing out of its small root and little seed.
