विचित्रशाखा ऋतव उपशाखा दिशो दश ।
संविद्रसमहापूरो वातस्पन्दो निवर्तनः ॥ १८ ॥

vicitraśākhā ṛtava upaśākhā diśo daśa |
saṃvidrasamahāpūro vātaspando nivartanaḥ || 18 ||

The seasons are its branches (in which they grow and wither away);and the ten sides of the air are its smaller boughs; because they spread themselves in all directions; self-consciousness is the pith and marrow of this tree (and of all sensible creatures), and the wind of the air is the breath of life, that fluctuates in every part of this tree of the world.
