This term means “to make a tree appear extraordinary”. In other words, the term implies that there would be an alteration in the natural trait of the tree. Certain treatises contain a separate chapter on Plant Mutagenesis (druma-vicitrīkaraṇa), such as Basavarāja’s Śivatattvaratnākara (1694-1714 CE).
