Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-śāstraTṛvṛt (तृवृत्):—One of the sixty-seven Mahauṣadhi, as per Rasaśāstra texts (rasa literature). These drugs are useful for processing mercury (rasa), such as the alchemical processes known as sūta-bandhana and māraṇa.

Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyTrivṛt (त्रिवृत्) or Trivṛtā (त्रिवृता):—A Sanskrit word referring to the “Turpeth plant” and is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā. Its official botanical name is Operculina turpethum (synonym: Ipomoea turpethum) and is commonly referred to in english as “turpeth root”, “Indian Jalap”, “transparent wood rose” and “white day glory”. It is native to India and is commonly found in the North Circars and Deccan regions. A solution of this plant is called Ālodaṇa. The literal translation of Trivṛt is “threefold” or “consisting of 3 parts” and is composed of the words Tri (‘three’) and Vṛt (‘enclosing’ or ‘obstructing’).
This plant (Trivṛt) is also mentioned as a medicine used for the treatment of all major fevers (jvara), as described in the Jvaracikitsā (or “the treatment of fever”) which forms the first chapter of the Sanskrit work called Mādhavacikitsā. In this work, the plant is also known by the name Śyāmā.

The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning trivṛṭ] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).
