ܳ (वेत्राग्�) is a Sanskrit word referring to a vegetable (ś첹), according to Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. It is sometimes identified as Pāṭhā, which is the Sanskrit name for Cissampelos pareira (velvetleaf), from the Menispermaceae family, but Caraka specifically lists ܳ as being part of the Śākavarga group of vegetables.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia

Kucela (कुचे�).—Sudāman, better known as Kucela was a brahmin class-mate of Śrī Kṛṣṇa at the Āśrama of sage Sāndīpani. One day Sāndīpani’s wife deputed Kucela and Kṛṣṇa to collect fire-wood from the forest, and they had to stay the whole night there as they could not find out the way back to the āśrama due to heavy rain, thunder etc. After their education was over these two thick friends left the āśrama and went their different ways in life.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa became the lord of Dvārakā, and Kucela a house-holder with many children, and starvation gripped the family. One day, at the instance of his wife, Kucela started for Dvārakā to visit Kṛṣṇa with a packet of rice flakes as a present to him. Kṛṣṇa received his old classmate most cordially, and ate one handful of rice flakes from the packet brought by Kucela. Rukmiṇ� prevented him from a second helping of the flakes. After spending some time most happily with his old friend, Kucela started homewards. Only on his way back did he think that Kṛṣṇa had not given him any monetary help. But, by the time he reached home his old dilapidated house had converted itself into a beautiful mansion, and his wife and children were in great happiness. Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s blessings thus converted poor Kucela into a very rich person. (Bhāgavata, 10th Skandha).
