Nighantu (Synonyms and Characteristics of Drugs and technical terms)
Tarkārī (तर्कारी) is another name for Jīmūtaka, a medicinal plant identified with Luffa echinata (bitter sponge gourd or bitter luffa) from the Cucurbitaceae or “gourd family” of flowering plants, according to verse 3.58-60 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. The third chapter (guḍūcyādi-varga) of this book contains climbers and creepers (vīrudh). Together with the names Tarkārī and Jīmūtaka, there are a total of nineteen Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant.
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Tarkārī (तर्कारी) (identified with Clerodendrum phlomidis) is used by certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “A tree gets destroyed if it is besmeared with the salty water extract of Payasya, Terminalia arjuna and Clerodendrum phlomidis [e.g., Tarkārī] and if scratched by the bone of a hog all over the bark”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
