Taskarasnāyu (तस्करस्नायु) is another name for Kākanāsā, an unidentified medicinal plant possibly possibly related to Kākādanī, according to verse 3.107-109 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Both the drugs, Kākanāsā and Kākādanī are of doubtful identity and were controversial even during the times of Suśruta. The third chapter (guḍūcyādi-varga) of this book contains climbers and creepers (vīrudh). Together with the names Taskarasnāyu and Kākanāsā, there are a total of thirteen Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant.
