तरौ गुलुच्छकादीनां यथान्यः कुरुतेऽभिधाः ।

tarau gulucchakādīnāṃ yathānyaḥ kurute'bhidhāḥ |
tathā cidvṛkṣapuṣpādipṛthvyādivihitābhidham || 8 ||

And as a tree exhibits its various forms, receiving the several names of a plant, a shrub, a creeper &c.; so doth the intellect display its many features, like its flowers &c., and called by the different appellations of earth, air, water &c.
