and full of veins. It is brought from a distance; when pounded,
it is of a reddish black color, has fine smell, and is used in
India for dying and for giving a pleasant odour to clothes. It is
cardiac, strengthens the brain, and gives a pleasant effluvia to the
perspiration; cures discolorations of the skin of the face, and in
some Indian works is called a species of Sandal. Its properties are
the same with Rukutchunden.

if bruised and applied to the head, it kills vermin; it destroys
maggots in ulcers; the leaves possess the same property. I knew a
man who had severe head-aches from maggots in the brain: I squeezed
the juice of this into the nose, it killed and brought them away.
