Source: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaAṅkolataila (अङ्कोलतैल) refers to the “oil of Alangium salviifolium”, which is used in certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Viśvavallabha-Vṛkṣāyurveda by Cakrapāṇi-Miśra (1580 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the principles of ancient Indian agriculture and horticulture.—Accordingly, “The seed of a ripened Mangifera indica should be placed in soaked fish and flesh stock for seven days. It should then be dried well in the heat of the sun. Then it should be soaked in a mixture of milk, clarified butter and oil of Alangium salviifolium [e.g., Aṅkolataila] and sown. This produces a Solanum indicum tree that creates wonder in the world”.
