Cakramarda (Cassia tora Linn.) is a herb known
by the word 'mesa' (mesāhvaya, edagaja) as its leaves
and flowers resemble sheep's eye ( mesalocana,
meşāksikusuma ). It grows gregariously ( cakri ),
blossoms at sun-rise ( padmata ) and leaves contract
at sun-set ( vyāvartaka ). Seeds are hard ( drdhabija )
and useful in treatment of skin diseases particularly
ring worm and itching ( cakramarda kusthaha, khar
jughna, pāmaghātī, dadrughna ). It has adverse ef-
féct on virility ( prapunnata ).
