The tree's branches spread up and down, fed by the three qualities, with sense pleasures as their buds. Its roots also grow downward into the human world, tying people to action and its results.

इस पेड़ की शाखाएँ ऊपर-नीचे फैली हैं, तीन गुणों से पोषित हैं और इंद्रियों के विषय इसकी कोंपलें हैं। इसकी जड़ें नीचे मनुष्य लोक में भी फैली हैं, जो लोगों को कर्म के बंधन में बाँधती हैं।
