About dashmuli and Asparagus: dashmuli ... dash (ten) and muli (root) ... best implies a plant's root bearing 10 branched root shatmuli ... shat (hundred) and muli (root) ... 100 branched root Asparagus racemosus, is popularly known as shatmuli ... found a good picture at http://www.tradeindia.com/fp372480/Asparagus-Racemosus-Wild.html It is possible that it could be known as dash-shat-muli (from Sanskrit : sahasra muli) meaning root with 1000 branches. Please do let me know if you get to recollect the reference which has dashmuli for Asparagus. Regards.
