घातुर्मूलं जीवमित्वाहुरार्या मेषादीनामोजयुग्मे तथैव । स्वर्णाद्वातुर्मृत्तिकान्तं तृणान्तं वृक्षान्मूलं जीवकूटः स जीवः ॥
Now the dhatu, mula and jiva names of the signs. The sages call [the signs] from Aries dhatu (mineral), mula (root) and jiva (living) [in turn: inferred]; likewise in odd and even [signs]. From gold to clay is dhatu; from trees down to grass is mula; the group of living beings is jiva.
