Apte's The practical Sanskrit-English dictionary* http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/search3advanced?dbname=apte3&query=Odina&matchtype=exact&display=utf8 अज aja : (page 31) ......................................2 goat's path. -शृङ्गी [अजस्य मेषस्य शृङ्गमिव फलं यस्याः सा] N. of a plant, विषाणी or Odina Wodier, highly medicinal, (Mar. मेंढशिंगी), See मेषशृङ्गी. >From the above entry, Odina Wodier (syn, of Lannea coromandelica) has अजशृङ्गी and विषाणी as two names in Sanskrit; and मेंढशिंगी in Marathi.
