Āgastya
Meaning: a plant, whose fruit is named in a list of fruits for dāna.
In the scriptures: Śrī Kṛshṇa tells Yudhishṭhira the Sarvaphalatyāga Caturdaśī vrata, the renouncing of all fruits. Sixteen fruits are made in copper, and āgastya is the second of them, after dāla (Bhavishya Purāṇa, Uttara Parva, Chapter 98).
