Sthalaśṛṅgāta (स्थलशृङ्गात) refers to Tribulus lanuginosus (whose fruit is armed with 3 spines), according to chapter 2.1 [ajitanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as Arindama said to king Vimalavāhana: “[...] With my retinue I got out of the conveyance from curiosity, entered it, and saw that it was very different from what it was before. I thought, ‘Have I come to the wrong place by mistake, or has this been transformed? Such is magic.’ [...] Where there were beautiful heaps of flowers under the trees, now there are immense thorns of the sthalaśṛṅgāta which has grown up? [...]”.
