The third chapter (guḍūcyādi-varga) of this book contains climbers and creepers (vīrudh). Karṇasphoṭā is not mentioned by Dhanvantari (in his Nighaṇṭu); however Chopra identifies it as Cardiospermum halicacabum Linn.; yet, the properties mentioned by chopra do not tally with the text. Together with the names Kṛṣṇataṇḍulā and Karṇasphoṭā, there are a total of eight Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant.
