In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Cikitsa (natural therapy and treatment for medical conditions)
Source: Wisdom Library: Ayurveda: CikitsaKapikacchu (啶曕お啶苦啶氞啶涏) is a Sanskrit word referring to Mucuna pruriens (鈥渧elvet bean鈥�). It is a type of legume (艣补尘墨诲丑腻苍测补), according to Caraka in his Carakasa峁僪it膩 s奴trasth膩na (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. It is also known as 膧tmagupt膩. The plant Kapikacchu is part of the 艢am墨dh膩nyavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the 鈥済roup of legumes鈥�. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant. The fruits of Kapikacchu are similar in properties to those of M膩峁, which is aphrodisisac, excellent 惫腻迟补-alleviating, unctuous, hot, weet, heavy and strength-promoting in character. M膩峁 also causes an abundance of faeces and gives sexual potency.
According to the 惭腻诲丑补惫补肠颈办颈迟蝉腻 (7th century Ayurvedic work), this plant (Kapikacchu) is possibly identified with V膩nar墨, a medicinal used for the treatment of all major fevers (jvara), as described in the Jvaracikits膩 (or 鈥渢he treatment of fever鈥�) chapter.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra碍补辫颈办补肠肠丑奴 (啶曕お啶苦啶氞啶涏) is the name of a fruit (Mucuna pruriens) causing great irritation, as mentioned in chapter 1.1 [腻诲墨艣惫补谤补-肠补谤颈迟谤补] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.鈥�(cf. The Commercial Products of India p. 400)
Accordingly, as Muni Yugandhara said to Nirn膩mik膩 (daughter of N膩ga艣r墨 and N膩gila):
鈥淸...] What pain is yours, lady, thinking yourself afflicted? Hear the afflictions of others. From the modifications of their karma souls are born in hell, doomed to be cut apart, doomed to mutilation, and to have their heads cut off. [...] One should not take an object that has not been given, since certainly there is no comfort from the taking of a thing not given, just as from the touch of 办补辫颈办补肠肠丑奴 fruit. [...]鈥�.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
