Source: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaKumudaphala (कुमुदफल) refers to the “fruit of Nymphaea alba”, and is the object of certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Viśvavallabha-Vṛkṣāyurveda by Cakrapāṇi-Miśra (1580 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the principles of ancient Indian agriculture and horticulture.—Accordingly, “The dried seed of a ripened fruit of the Nymphaea alba [e.g., Kumudaphala] or Nymphaea nouchali should be rubbed with dry cow-dung and soaked in urine of buffalo for seven days. It should then be sown in rich soil. By doing so, the Nerium indicum so produced will create wonder in the world.”.
