Onother thing is that in ancient time or in Ayurveda ,the synonames of the plants are given or the plant is recognised with many names depending upon its habitat, colour, size, shape of the flowers and fruits, taste of the leaves, flowers, fruits etc.. e.g. 1. Shatavari- having 100s of roots. 2. Gokshura- spiny fruits get inserted to cow's toes. 3. Chitraka - Discolouration of skin takes place after application. 4. Kumari- Which never get fruits. 5. Amlika - having amla i.e. sour taste. 6. Ashwagandha- with the smell of horse, or smell in Stable. 7. Agnimantha-( Premna integrifolia) - Agni is produced by rubbing the dry wood sticks with each other.
many many other examples can be given like this. In this case both Godhadi and Gokshura are totally opposite things and can not be the synoname for the same plant. Regards, Dr.Kadus Arvind,Pune.
