Meaning (English)

The real form of this tree cannot be perceived in this world. It has no beginning, no end, and no firm foundation. One must cut down this deep-rooted tree with the strong axe of detachment.

Meaning (Hindi) · अर्थ

इस संसार-वृक्ष का स्वरूप यहाँ वैसा प्रत्यक्ष नहीं दिखता; इसका न आदि दिखाई देता है, न अन्त और न स्थिर आधार। इस दृढ़मूल अश्वत्थ वृक्ष को दृढ़ वैराग्यरूपी असंग-शस्त्र से काटकर आगे बढ़ना चाहिए।
