Mundī ( Sphaeranthus indicus Linn. ) is a plant
of compositae family having compound heads of
flowers ( mundi, munditika, bhiksu, tapodhanā ), re-
sembling those of kadamba ( kadambapuspī) and of
reddish violet colour ( aruna ). The plant flowers in
winter and thereafter bears fruits in śravaṇa constel-
lation (sravanaśīrsikā śrāvani, Śravanāhvā ). It yields
plenty of chaff (alambusā ). As drug, it destroys evil
organisms and worms ( bhūtaghnī ) and is anti-obes-
ity ( palarikasā ).
