Bṛhaspaṭi Said:: The following trees are praiseworthy to be consigned to the holy fire. Palāśa, Plakṣa, Nyagrodha, Aśvattha, Vikaṅkata, Udumbara, Bilva, Candana—all those trees are worthy of Yajñas. So also are the trees Sarala, Devadāru, Śāla and Khadira. The trees with thorns found in the villages and those that are worthy of Yajñas are also honoured for Samits in accordance with the utterance of Pitṛs.
