Arundhatī is the name of a plant celebrated in several passages of the Atharvaveda¹ as possessing healing properties in case of wounds, as a febrifuge, and as inducing cows to give milk. The plant was a climber which attached itself to trees like the Plakṣa, Aśvattha, Nyagrodha, and Parṇa.² It was of golden colour (\*hiraṇya-varṇa\*), and had a hairy stem (\*lomaśa-vakṣaṇa\*).³ It was also called Silācī, and the Lākṣā appears to have been a product of it.⁴ - [Previous: v1.c3.590](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.590) - [Next: v1.c3.592](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.592) - [Up: v1.c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.591](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.591) · Pramāṇa
