5 | In news guaranteed to delight Buddhists and botanists around the world, a special kind of tree from central Nepal, the seeds of which are used to make a type of Buddhist prayer beads, has been described as a new species: Ziziphus budhensis. | Tanaty vaovao iray azo antoka fa hahafaly ny Bodista sy ireo mpandinika zavamaniry maneran-tany, karazan-kazo iray ao afovoan'i Nepal nofaritana ho kazarany vaovao ny Ziziphus budhensis, izay ny voa avy aminy no ampiasain'ny Bodista hanaovana vakam-pivavahana. |
6 | A research article in the Indian Journal of Plant Sciences by Khem Raj Bhattarai and Mitra Lal Pathak states: | Izao no ambaran'ny lahatsoram-pikarohana iray nosoratan'i Khem Raj Bhattarai sy Mitra Lal Pathak ao amin'ny Journal of Plant Sciences Indiana : |
7 | The seeds are highly valued and are used to make garlands. | Sarobidy ireo voa ary ampiasaina hanaovana girlandy. |
8 | The garlands made by beads are used by Buddhist people for worship to ‘delight Lord Buddha' and for spiritual peace and locally called Bodhichita. | Ampiasain'ny Bodista amin'ny fanompoam-pivavahana mba ‘ hahafaly ny Tompo Bouddah' sy ho fiadanan'ny fanahy ary antsoin'ny ao an-toerana hoe Bodhichita ilay girlandy vita amin'ny voa madinika. |
9 | Smaller seeds are more highly prized than larger ones, and a garland of 108 beads of high values seeds costs up to 80 thousand Nepalese Rupees (ca. $800). | Lafo vidy kokoa noho ny voa lehibe ny voa madinika, ary misanda hatramin'ny 8 alina ropia nepale ( eo ho eo amin'ny 800 dolara) ny girlandy misy voa madinika 108. |
10 | Known as Bodhichitta among the Buddhists and called Buddhachitta locally, the trees are so far known to be found only in the small area of Kavreplanchok. | Hatramin'izao dia any amin'ny faritra kelin'i Kavreplanchok ihany no ahitana ilay hazo antsoin'ny Bodista hoe Bodhichitta, Buddhachitta no ahafantaran'ny any an-toerana azy. |
11 | The tree is endemic to Nepal, and it's found nowhere else. | Any Nepal irery ihany no ahitana io hazo io, tsy hita na aiza na aiza. |
12 | Further, the research says Buddhachitta is clearly different from the species of Ziziphus already known to grow in Nepal, and it did not match with the Ziziphus species reported in India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and China. | Ankoatra izany, ambaran'ny fikarohana fa tena samy hafa amin'ireo karazana Ziziphus maniry efa fantatra any Nepal ny Buddhachitta, ary tsy mitovy amin'ireo karazana Ziziphus hita any India, Bhutan, Bangladesh ary any Shina. |
13 | Given popular beliefs about the beads, the trees and their seeds produce, are in high demand, with prices skyrocketing on seeds until recently thought to be worthless. | Noho ny finoan'ny olona ny momba ilay vakana dia betsaka no mitady ny hazo sy ireo voa vokatra, miaraka amin'ny fidangan'ny vidin'ny voa mandra-pihevitra azy ho zava-poana tsy ela akory izay. |
14 | Today, they are a treasured commodity in India, China, Singapore, Japan, and Korea. | Rakitra sarobidy any India, Shina, Singapore, Japana ary Korea izy ireny amin'izao fotoana izao. |
15 | As for recent reports the beads are being exported to these countries. | Naondrana tany amin'ireo firenena ireo ny vakam-pivavahana araka ny tatitra farany : |
16 | A pathi (3.2 - 3.6 Kgs) of Buddhachitta growing in Kavre costs 25 lakhs | 25 lakhs no sandan'ny iray pathi (3.2 - 3.6 Kgs) amin'ny Buddhachitta maniry any Kavre. |
17 | According to a legend, among the three plants left by Lord Buddha during his meditation, the plants in Lumbini and Namobudhha of Kavre died and only the one in the Timal region, in Nepal, survived-giving way to the current population. | Araka ny lovan-tsofina, tamin'ireo zavamaniry telo navelan'ny Tompo Bouddah nandritra ny fivavahany, dia maty ny tany Lumbani sy Namobudhha any Kavre fa ilay hany tokana any amin'ny faritr'i Timal, ao Nepal, no velona-navela ho an'ny olona amin'izao fotoana izao. |
18 | In another story, the Tibetan Guru Padma Sambhav left a tree of Bodhichitta while he was in Kavre for meditation. | Amin'ny tantara iray hafa, namela hazonà Bodhichitta iray ilay Guru Tibetana Padma Sambhav tamin'ny fotoana nivavahany tany Kavre |
19 | As reported by Setopati, ever since the Dalai Lama stated four years ago that the Budhhachitta from Nepal is of the best quality, the use, demand, popularity, and price of the beads has skyrocketed. | Nanomboka tamin'ny nilazan'ny Dalai Lama efa-taona lasa izay fa tsara kalitao ny Budhhachitta avy any Nepal, no nampiakatra be ny fampisana, ny fitadiavana, ny laza ary ny vidin'ny vakam-pivavahana araka ny notaterin'ny Setopati. |
20 | The Timal region boasts a Buddhachitta trade worth one billion Nepali rupees ($9.8 million). | Mirehareha amin'ny varotra Buddhachitta misanda iray lavitrisa ropia Nepale (9,8 tapitrisa dolara) ny faritr'i Timal. |
21 | The local farmers who grow Buddhachitta trees sometimes earn hundreds of thousand rupees by selling a single tree. | Indraindray mahazo ropia an'hetsiny maro amin'ny hazo iray lafo ny mpamboly Buddhachitta any an-toerana. |
22 | As the trade has increased, however, so has the threat. | Arakaraky ny fitombon'ny varotra no mampitombo ny loza mananontanona. |
23 | Fearing robbery, traders have even started chartering helicopters to collect the Budhhachitta beads from farmers, reported the popular Internet portal Onlinekhabar: | Noho ny tahotra ny halatra dia nanomboka nanofa angidimby hanangonana ny voanà Budhhachitta avy any amin'ny mpamboly ny mpivarotra, araka ny tatitra nataon'ny vavahadin-tserasera malaza amin'ny aterineto Onlinekhabar: |

25 | As reported by Nagariknews, some farmers with Buddhachitta trees have begun sleeping under the trees to save the seeds from theft. | Nanomboka natory teny ambanin'ny hazo mba hiarovana ny voa amin'ny halatra ireo mpamboly Buddhachitta sasany araka ny tatitry ny Nagariknews. |

27 | Seeing the benefits of Buddhachitta, farmers have started planting even more trees on their lands. | Nanomboka namboly hazo betsaka kokoa amin'ny taniny ireo mpamboly noho ny tombony azo amin'ny Buddhachitta. |
28 | The researcher duo Bhattarai and Pathak say there is great potential to develop commercial farming of this species, creating lucrative revenue streams. | Lazain'ireo mpikaroka anankiroa, i Bhattarai sy i Pathak, fa malalaka ny fahafahana mampiroborobo ny fambolena ara-barotr'ity karazana ity, miteraka loharanom-bola mitosatosaka. |
29 | While people are in awe about this miracle tree, a forthcoming documentary “Beads of Meditation” is poised to unravel the religious, cultural, and scientific aspects of Budhhachitta. | Raha mbola variana amin'ny momba io hazo mahagaga io ny olona, dia efa vonona hanazava ny lafiny ara-pivavahana, ara-kolontsaina, ara-tsiansan'ny Budhhachitta ilay fanadihadiana ho avy “Beads of Meditation” na ‘vakam-pivavahana ‘ |
