न काष्ठतृणभूतानि स्थावराणि चराणि च ॥ ४ ॥

na bhūtayakṣarakṣāṃsi na gulmā na vanaśriyaḥ |
na kāṣṭhatṛṇabhūtāni sthāvarāṇi carāṇi ca || 4 ||

There are no races of Yakshas and Rakshas, nor those tribes of plants and trees, woods or grass; nor the moving and immovable beings, as you see upon the earth.
