Dhammika<dfn>b\u012bja<\/dfn><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seed. A seed is a new plant in the form of an embryo. Some of the parts of seeds mentioned in the Tipi\u1e6daka include the husk (<em>thusa<\/em>), the kernel (<em>mi\u00f1ja<\/em>), and in the case of germinating seeds, the sprout or shoot (<em>a\u1e45kura<\/em>). The seeds of certain plants are encased in a pod (<em>sip\u0101\u1e6daka<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>ku\u1e6d\u1e6dhilika<\/em>). In order to germinate a seed has to have an intact casing, be fresh, be unspoiled by wind or heat and be sown in a good field with properly prepared soil&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/suttacentral.net\/an3.34\/en\/sujato#4.1\">AN.i.135<\/a>. Some seeds have hard shells that crack only if burned and it was noticed that new shoots often appear quickly after a forest fire&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/suttacentral.net\/sn3.1\/en\/sujato#3.1\">SN.i.69<\/a>. The two factors that enable a seed to grow are nutrition from the soil (<em>pa\u1e6dhavi rasa<\/em>) and moisture&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/suttacentral.net\/sn5.8\/en\/sujato#4.1\">SN.i.134<\/a>. Whether the leaves or fruit of the plant is sweet or bitter was believed to depend not on the nutrition but on the nature of the seed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/suttacentral.net\/an1.313\/en\/sujato#1.1\">AN.i.32<\/a>. Commenting on the endless cycle of agriculture the monk K\u0101\u1e37ud\u0101yin said: \u201cAgain and again they sow the seed; again and again the god king rains; again and again farmers plough the fields; again and yet again the country has grain\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/suttacentral.net\/thag10.1\/en\/sujato#6.1\">Thag.532<\/a>.
