In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Nighantu (Synonyms and Characteristics of Drugs and technical terms)
Vṛnta (वृन्त) refers to a “foot stalk” of a leaf or fruit, as mentioned in a list of four synonyms, according to the second chapter (dharaṇyādi-varga) of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu (an Ayurvedic encyclopedia). The Dharaṇyādi-varga covers the lands, soil, mountains, jungles and vegetation’s relations between trees [viz., Vṛnta] and plants and substances, with their various kinds.
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
1) Vṛnta (वृन्त) refers to the “pedicel”, “petiole” or “stalk (of a leaf)” (i.e., that part which holds the leaf, flower and fruit in space); it represents a technical term related to the morphology branch of “plant science”, which ultimately involves the study of life history of plants, including its origin and development, their external and internal structures and the relation of the members of the plant body with one another.—The vṛkṣāṅga-sūtrīya-adhyāya, i.e., the chapter of the bījotpatti-kāṇḍa of Parāśara’s Vṛkṣāyurveda deals with various parts of plants, e.g., Leaf (parṇa). [...] Vṛnta is the part which holds the leaf, the flower and the fruit in space. The leafs (parṇa) are distinguished as the sa-vṛnta (possessing stalk) and a-vṛnta (without stalk). In some leaves, vṛnta is associated with a laterally expanded wing on each side. These wings are termed as vṛnta-pakṣa. Also see vṛnta-bandhana—the arrangement of the petioles with the branches and rachis.
The mode of arrangement of the calyx (jālaka), corolla (dala), stamens (keśara), etc. on the pedicel (vṛnta) is of three different types—
- vṛnta-maṇḍala,
- pṛthak-maṇḍala and
- miśra-maṇḍala.
2) Vṛnta (वृन्त) refers to the “pedicel” part of the Phala (fruit) .[...] The different parts of a fruit are—Vṛnta (Pedicel), Jālaka (Calyx), Valka (Fruit wall), Śalāṭu (unripe portion), Vartaka (Locule), Bījapuplika (Septum), Bījapuṣa (Placenta), Bīja (seed).
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.
