Golomikā (गोलोमिका) is the Sanskrit name for an unidentified medicinal plant, according to verse 5.96-97 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Note: 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 always refers Golomī as Dūrvā. [...] Chopra has suggested Desmostachya bipinnata stapf. as Dūrvā (see Dugdhaphenī)

Golomikā is mentioned as having five synonyms: Godhūmī, Gojā, Kroṣṭukapucchikā, Gosambhavā and Prastariṇī.

Properties and characteristics: “Golomikā is pungent (kaṭu), bitter (tikta), cooling (hima) and prevails over all the three vitiated doṣas. It cures urinary and blood diseases. Though constipative (grāhiṇī), it improves the digestive process”.

Golomika, (adj.) (inverted diæretic form fr. Sk. gulma=P. gumba: viz. *golmika›*golmika›golomika) like a cluster; in phrase massuṃ golomikaṃ kārāpeti “to have the beard trimmed into a ball- or cluster-shape” Vin.II, 134. Bdhgh’s explanation “like a goat’s beard” (cp. Vin. Texts III, 138) is based on pop. etym. go+loma+ ika “cow-hair-like, ” the discrepancy being that go does not mean goat. (Page 256)

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
