Śatāvarī ( Asparagus racemosus Willd. ) is a
climber difficult to perish (durmarā ) and free from
external invasion ( abhiru ) due to presence of re-
curved spines ( adharakaṇṭakā ). It has thin linear
leaves ( śūkṣmapatrā ) like those of snake's tongue
(phaṇijihvāparṇī) and numerous succulent tuberous
roots ( śatavarī, pīvarī, bahusutā, śatapadī ). It is of
saumya ( watery ) nature ( nārāyaṇī ) due to predo-
minance of water element and as such antagonistic
to tīkṣṇa ( sharp, irritant) substances (dvīpiśatṛu ).
It is tasteful ( śvadurasā ), efficacious in many dis-
orders (śatavīryā) and regarded as one of the best
drugs ( varī ).
Specific characters
1. Plant—a climber armed with recurved spines.
2. Leaves—thin, linear, like serpent's tongue.
3. Roots –- many, succulent, tuberous, full of
juice.
4.Uses--efficacious in many disorders.
