The literal translation of the word “blackish-white”, it is composed of kṛṣṇa (‘black’) and gaura (‘white’). The plant Kṛṣṇagaura is part of the Śūkadhānyavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the “group of awned grains”. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant.
