If trees have their fruits destroyed, the pouring of cold water after being cooked together with Kulutha, ṣa (seeds), Mudga (pulse), Yava (barley) and Tila (oil seed) would lead to the growth of flowers and fruits. Growth of trees can be helped by the application of water with which fishes are washed and cleansed.�
