Arkamarīci (अर्कमरीचि) refers to the “rays of the sun” (used for drying ingredients), according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly: “A healthy seed of a properly ripened Mangifera indica should be soaked in the blood of a tortoise and a hare and then should be dried in the direct heat of the sun (arkamarīci-saṃcaya). After a month it should be planted in a pit, previously prepared as per the method described before. Thereafter it should be showered with the milk of a she-goat. Then it blossoms into a tree with thousands of branches and produces lovely flowers and fruits round the year. This is no wonder”.
