Source: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaThe Dewlap (loose skin hanging beneath the neck of bulls) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Kambala, and is used in certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, such as to delay of ripening in fruits, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “The ripening of fruits of a tree can be delayed by one year by piercing their roots with long bones of monkey’s legs dipped in the ichor of an intoxicated elephant. Ripening of fruits of a particular branch of a tree can be stopped by covering that branch firmly by the skin of the hunch of a bull that is just then killed. The fruits of a particular branch of a tree do not ripen if it is covered seven times with the skin from the dewlap (kambala) of a black bull, killed for the purpose”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
