अस्य सोम्य महतो वृक्षस्य यो मूलेऽभ्याहन्याज्जीवन्स्रवेद्यो मध्येऽभ्याहन्याज्जीवन्स्रवेद्योऽग्रेऽभ्याहन्याज्जीवन्स्रवेत्स एष जीवेनात्मनानुप्रभूतः पेपीयमानो मोदमानस्तिष्ठति ॥ ६.११.१ ॥
In plain words
"If a man were to strike at the root of this great tree, my dear, it would bleed but live; if he were to strike at its middle, it would bleed but live; if he were to strike at its top, it would bleed but live. Pervaded by the living self, it stands drinking in moisture and rejoicing.
