338 Jamin.--"Eugenia Jambolana." One of the largest of trees;
its leaves about 3 inches long and half an inch broad, of an oval
shape. The fruit is round and of three kinds, the Deeriaie, the
Bhagaie, and Sehraie. Of the Bhagaie, there are two kinds, the largest
called Churputtra and the common Jamun. The common name of the Deeriaie
is Nadeye. All kinds are dry and astringent; cures disorders of mucus,
bile, blood, and boils and eruptions, but when the fruit is large
it is sweet, and difficult of digestion; it cures swellings in the
body. Some have called the Ray Jamun hot. The Sehraie is strengthening,
and increases semen. There is a kind of Jamun grown in Delhi, that is
without stones, and very sweet; in my opinion this is the best of all,
and next to it must rank the Ray Jamun.
That fruit which is found in the latter end of the rains is called
Bhadeya, and is also sweet. In my opinion it is cool and moist, and
stomachic, but the one without the stone, named BËd·na, is more so
than the other kinds.
The juice of the fruit is to be preferred as a stomachic, and is more
grateful to the taste. It is best prepared by being sprinkled with
salt, and shaken in a dish, which deprives it of its great astringency
and corrects its hurtful qualities.
There is a kind of jamun of the color of dry grass, of a yellowish
white color, smaller than those described, of a pleasant smell. Nawab
Assoph-ul-Dowlah at Lucknow, taking into consideration its scarcity,
brought it from the eastward, and sowed it in his gardens. It is the
now common goolaub jamun, and smells of roses; there is also a kind
of jamun at Lucknow called Phalenda.

light, stomachic, clears the throat, cures mucous disorders, and
