Text 5 and 6

yavac chakha-prashakhabhir
bija-pushpa-dalaih shubhaih
ropita tulasi martyair
vardhate vasudha-tale

tesham vamsheshu ye jata
ye bhavishyanti ye gatah
a-kalpa-yuga-sahasram
tesham vaso harer grihe[1]


A person who who plants Tulasi liberates his family. As many branches, sub-branches, seeds, flowers, and leaves as are on the Tulasi he has planted, so many ancestors and descendents in his family for thousands of kalpa-yugas will go to Lord Krishna's transcendental abode.
