| इस चित्र के चारों ओर तीन घेरे बने हुए हैं। पहले घेरे में 27 नक्षत्रों के नाम हैं और उनके पौधों के भी नाम साथ में लिखे हुए हैं। दूसरे घेरे में 12 राशियों के नाम लिखे हैं और साथ में उनके पौधों के नाम भी लिखे हुए हैं। तीसरे घेरे में नौ ग्रहों के नाम लिखे हैं और उनसे संबंधित पेड़ पौधों के नाम भी लिखे हुए हैं। जहाँ पर पेड़ पौधे जड़ी बूटी और वृक्ष के नाम लिखे हुए हैं तो उनमें उन नक्षत्रों का या उन राशियों का या उन ग्रहों का वास होता है। यदि हम उन पर पौधों जड़ी बूटियों या वृक्षों की पूजा करते हैं या उनको हम रतन की तरह धारण करते हैं तब भी हमें वे जड़ी बूटियाँ पेड़ पौधे वृक्ष लाभ प्रदान करते हैं। |
