Kampilla

Grammar: neuter noun.

Meaning: a medicinal plant, glossed as rocanī.

In the scriptures: Brahmā names kampilla among the stores of the kitchen, where the text glosses it as the medicine named rocanī (Bhavishya Purāṇa, Brahma Parva, Chapter 11). Nārada tells Sāmba that with the word “yuñjāni” one gives Sūrya Deva kampilla, glossed there as the oshadhi kāmpilya (Brahma Parva, Chapter 135).
