Undertaking to describe vegetables; root vegetables

Having described grains, the author undertakes to describe vegetables from roots to fruits. The roots (mūla) listed are lotus root, nālī (nāḍī) greens, potato and similar tubers, madhugaṅgā, hastikanda (a Konkan tuber, also called girivāsa, nāgāśraya, kuṣṭhahantā and nāgakanda) and śūkarakanda (vārāhīkanda); a footnote suggests madhugaṅgā should read madhukanda, a kind of āluka.
