laksha (lākṣā)

The healing plant of AVS 5.5, which that hymn names twice over -- silācī́ in verses 1 and 8, lā́kṣā in verse 7 -- and which it addresses alongside arundhatī for the closing of wounds. Two names for one addressee, so one entity, on the hymn's own authority rather than on a botanical identification.
