Droṇi

Grammar: noun.

In the scriptures: Brahmā, teaching Dindi the rules about nīlī (indigo), says: if a brāhmaṇa at any time goes among droṇi trees by mistake, then by fasting a day and a night and taking pañcagavya that fault goes and he is purified (Bhavishya Purāṇa, Brahma Parva, Chapter 65).
