Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Ayurveda College: GuduchiChinnodbhavā (छिन्नोद्भवा):—Bhava Prakasha by Bhava Mishra, gives a further analysis of the spiritual nature of Guduchi by naming it "Chinnodbhava" (able to grow even if cut). Vaidya Mishra elaborates on the significance of this quality, pointing out that it indicates guduchi's ability to live on air. According to Mishra, guduchi “...is so full of life that is can grow without any soil or water”. Mishra draws a profound comparison to the great yogis who were able to live without food or water, subsisting purely on the pranic energy in the air. Mishra says that guduchi possesses "amrit siddhi", or capability to live entirely on the pranic energy available in the air without the need for grosser levels of sustenance, and indicates that it is an herb uniquely full with life- energy.
