The Materia Medica of the Hindus, compiled from Sanskrit Medical Works c5.s7.30

c5.s7.30

The Sanskrit term *karuná nimbu* is variously translated by different authorities. Wilson in his Sanskrit dictionary calls it *Citrus decumana*. In the *Hortus Bengalensis* it is translated into *Citrus medica*, while Drury and other Madras authorities make the variety *Citrus Limonum*. The *Sabdakalpadruma* does not give any synonym or vernacular term for it, so that it is difficult to say, what form it really meant. In the vernacular the term *karuná* is applied to a variety of *Citrus medica*.
