The plant is therefore part of the Śākavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the “group of vegetables/pot-herbs”. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant.

It is highly probable that the unspecified metal in Āryabhaṭa’s verse is also gold. But a thin gold needle cannot pierce through a copper bowl. Hence Āryabhaṭa’s specification (and also Kauṭilya’s) should be understood to mean that “the perforation should be such that a gold wire, one pala in weight and eight aṅgulas in length, can pass through it”.
