Pālāśamūla (पालाशमूल) refers to the “roots of Palaśa”, and is an ingredient used in the treatment of rat-poison such as those caused by the Siṃha-rats, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Accordingly, one of the treatments is mentioned as follows: “A drink made out of a measure of powdered roots of Śirīṣa and Sumana blended with cow’s milk. Gruel of powdered root of Palāśa and milk to be administered as a drink and ointment. A measure of Palaśa roots (pālāśamūla) must be used for fumigation”.
