ī󲹱󲹱 (दीर्घफला) is another name for Գٳܰ, a medicinal plant possibly identified with Ferula foetida (asafoetida) from the Apiaceae or “celery� family of flowering plants, according to verse 3.126-129 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. The third chapter (ḍūc徱-) of this book contains climbers and creepers (īܻ). R. N. Soḍhal considers Գٳܰ as Hiṅgu (Ferula foetida Regel Umbelliferae/Apiaceae). Raghuvīr Prasāda Trivedī considers Գٳܰ a parasitic creeper (ṛkṣaܳ); the fruits are like Kapikacchu, thus he identifies it with Cuscuta chinensis Lank. (Convolvulaceae), a plant used in Vietnam as Tho ty tu. Chopra identifies Գٳܰ with Garcinia lucida Roxb. Vaidyaka Śabda Sindhu equates it with Lākṣ�. Together with the names ī󲹱󲹱 and Գٳܰ, there are a total of twenty-one Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant.

ī󲹱󲹱 (दीर्घफ�) refers to either (1) “producing fruits for a long time� or (2) “producing fruits of large size�, according to the ṛkṣҳܰ岹 by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, �Musa paradisiaca tree with its root pierced with a golden rod heated in fire of dust of ivory, turns into a creeper producing fruits for a long time (ī󲹱󲹱) (or fruits of large size). Musa paradisiaca creeper produces wealth in the form of plantains as big as elephant's teeth if the roots are pierced with an iron needle which is heated in the fire made of dry cow dung and bones of pig, elephant and horse�.
