Svarṇulī (स्वर्णुली) is the Sanskrit name for an unidentified medicinal plant, according to verse 4.162 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Note: Rājanighaṇṭu’s commentator describes this plant as Sanay (Sanāya), known as Mārkaṇḍikā in Āyurveda. Rājanighaṇṭu does not describe Mārkaṇḍikā as such, yet contains this word as a synonym of Bhūmyāhulyā.

Svarṇulī is mentioned as having two synonyms: Hemapuṣpī and Svarṇapuṣpadhvajā.

Properties and characteristics: “Svarṇulī is pungent, cold, astringent and wound-healer”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
