स्थाणुः स्वयं मूलविहीन एव पुत्रो विशाखो रमणी त्वपर्णा।

परोपनीतैः कुसुमैरजस्रं फलत्यभीष्टं किमिदं विचित्रम्॥

paropanītaiḥ kusumairajasraṁ phlatyabhīṣṭaṁ kimidaṁ vicitram||

He is standing solid and sturdy as Sthaanu Naatha, that way he is a tree without any roots,

His son Karthikeya is born in the Visakha Star, and since Visakha also means without branches, He is a tree having no branches,

His darling wife Uma is called Aparna because she did penance to get the Lord as Husband by starving and refusing even to eat a single leaf, and that way Her lord is a tree without leaves too.

However the Lord is shining forth in full bloom through flowers brought to Him by his devotees and pleased by that and through His infinite mercy he is producing large quantities of fruits by way of generous boons..

It is indeed a strange phenomenon.

The rootless, branchless, leafless tree that is Lord Shankara, pleased by flowers brought to Him by His devotees produces infinite quantity of fruits by way of bounteous boons.

NamaH Sivaaya..
