It is also given in the Taittirīya Saṃhitā² as a means of making milk curdle, being an alternative to the bark of the Butea frondosa (parṇa-valka). It is usually identified with the Guilandina Bonduc, but Hillebrandt³ makes it out to be the Basella Cordifolia. - [Previous: v2.c4.176](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.176) - [Next: v2.c4.178](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.178) - [Up: v2.c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.177](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.177) · Pramāṇa
