Source: WorldCat: Rāj nighaṇṭuṚddhi (ऋद्धि) is the Sanskrit name for an unidentified medicinal plant, according to verse 5.28-33 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Notes: Also see Vṛddhi. On the name of Ṛddhi and Vṛddhi the Habenaria species are being supplied in the market (Th. B.S. et al. and P.V.S.). Th. B.S. suggests another species for consideration and investigation i.e. Ciraiyākanda or Mālākanda (Eulophia nuda Lindl.).—The tuberous roots of Ṛddhi and Vṛddhi are covered in a sheath. These tubers are white, hairy, porous. The main plant is a creeper.
Ṛddhi is mentioned as having eleven synonyms: Siddhi, Prāṇadā, Jīvadātrī, Siddhā, Yogyā, Cetanīyā, Rathāṅgī, Maṅgalyā, Lokakāntā, Yaśasyā and Jīvaśreṣṭhā.
Properties and characteristics: “Both Ṛddhi and Vṛddhi are sweet, bitter, cold and unctuous. They improve appetite and mental power. Both are good anthelmintics and control kuṣṭha (leprosy and allied skin diseases) and kapha. In the preparations of fomularies any one of these may serve the purpose according to needs. Their simultaneous use is advised, where both of these are available”.

Ṛddhi (extraordinary powers) is of eight types, namely:
- intellect (buddhi),
- activity (kriyā),
- change of form (vikriyā),
- austerity (tapas),
- might (bala),
- healing power (auṣadhi),
- occult power to change food (rasa).
- power to ensure inexhaustible food and space (kṣetra).
The word extraordinary is attached as a prefix to each of these eight types.
Ṛddhi (ऋद्धि) refers to the “(great) power” (of the lord of the 30 gods), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “If it is exceedingly desired to avoid descending into hell or solely to obtain the great power of the lord of the 30 gods (tridaśapati-mahā-ṛddhi), if the ultimate aim of a man is desirable, then, pray, what else is to be spoken of? You must perform the doctrine. [Thus ends the reflection on] the doctrine”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
