Extraction notes

  • The lexicon lists हरेणु only as an ambiguous alias of pea; the commentary reads it as renuka seed, so a separate entry is used.
  • The verse reads र‘णुयवान् (garbled); the commentary renders it रेणुकीबीज.
  • Named as an ingredient of Ugravishari ghrita (formulation_ugravishari_ghrita_p493).
  • Ingredient of the Sanjivana antidote (v121, PDF 505).
