In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: WorldCat: Rāj nighaṇṭuGolomī (गोलोमी) is mentioned as a synonym for Golomikā, an unidentified medicinal plant, according to verse 5.96-97 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Narhari describes this synonym Golomī or Golomikā at two other places in Rājanighaṇṭu (verse 6.48 as a synonym of Vacā and verse 8.109 as a synonym of Śvetadūrvā). Ḍalhaṇa, Hārāṇa Chandra and Medinīkar consider Golomī as Śvetadūrvā. [...] Ḍalhaṇa always refers Golomī as Dūrvā. Cakrapāṇī at one place equates it with (Bhūtakeśī), which is Selenium species, suggests P.V.S. [...] Suśruta has also included Golomī amongst the divine herbs in CH.-29, on which Cakrapāṇi comments [...]. Chopra has suggested Desmostachya bipinnata stapf. as Dūrvā (see Dugdhaphenī). Incidently three of the MSS 'D', 'G', & 'H' provide a synonym Gojihvā for Golomī.
