Source: Wisdom Library: Raj NighantuKṛṣṇavaṃśa (कृष्णवंश) is the name of a tree (Black Bamboo) that is associated with the Nakṣatra (celestial star) named Punarvasu, according to the second chapter (dharaṇyādi-varga) of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu (an Ayurvedic encyclopedia). Accordingly, “these [trees] are propounded in Śāstras, the secret scriptures (śāstrāgama). These pious trees [viz, Kṛṣṇa-vaṃśa], if grown and protected, promote long life”. These twenty-seven trees related to the twenty-seven Nakṣatras are supposed to be Deva-vṛkṣas or Nakṣatra-vṛkṣas.
