v1.c3.s21.731

Pāṭhā is mentioned in the Atharvaveda¹ and in the Kauśika Sūtra.² It is assumed by the commentator to be identical with the later Pāṭhā, the plant *Clypea hernandifolia*, which was much used medicinally, and is still so used at the present day according to Roth.³ Very possibly the word should be read as Pāṭhā.
