Śleṣmātaka ( Cordia dichotoma Forst. f. ) is a
handsome middle-sized tree ( kāntavṛkṣaka ) grow-
ing wildly in hilly areas ( śailūṣa, śaīlu ). Fragrant
flowers ( gandhapuṣpa ) appear in spring ( vāsanta-
kusuma ). Fruits are pearl-shaped (muktāphala ), in
abundance (bahuphala), with slimy and sticky pulp
( picchila ). The slimy fruits-pulp is used as glue to
stick paper (lekhaśaṭaka ). Fruit is cold in touch as
well as vīrya (śitaphala ). As drug, it excites kapha
( śleṣmātaka ) and induces sleep (śelu ). The plant
is efficacious in many disorders (uddāla, bahuvāra )
and is anti-poisonous ( viṣaghātī ). It is disliked by
noble persons and also by birds ( dvijakutsita ).
