Englishअपामार्ग Tatpur. m. (-र्गः) The name of a plant (Achyranthes
aspera) which is employed for sacrificial purposes, it being
supposed to have the power of removing sins, and also as
a medicament
it has three varieties: the white, the red and
the water-Apāmārga. The white variety is described as ‘a
little pungent, hot, bitterish, astringent or constipating,
emetic, pungent (sic), increasing the digestion, or stomachic,
and applied against diseases from phlegm, the itch, piles,
diseases of the stomach, of the blood, of serous secretions,
of the vital airs, against cutaneous eruptions, leprosy, in-
dolent tumors and nausea’--
the red variety is ‘a little
pungent, cold, constipating, emetic, obstructing the circu-
lation of the vital air, and rough
it is employed against
diseases from phlegm and of the vital airs, against ulcers,
itch, and poison
its seed or fruit is cold, sweet, indiges-
tive whether raw or cooked, constipating, causing flatulency,
rough, emetic and good for cough and hemorrhages from
the mouth, nose, rectum and cuticle’
the water-variety is
‘pungent and used against pulmonary consumption, swell-
ings, diseases from phlegm and of the vital airs, and against
cough’.--The ashes of the plant are used in cleaning linen.
E. मृज् with अप, kṛt aff. घञ्, the final vowel of the prefix
being lengthened
(or according to Bhānud. on the Amarak.,
a Bahuvr. अप and आ-मार्ग
‘अपमार्जन्त्यनेन…, अप-
कृष्ट आसमन्तान्मार्गोऽस्येति वा’
but according to Rāyam.
only the former: ‘अपमृजन्ति वस्त्रादिकमनेन’
and equally
so the Siddhāntak. ‘अपमृज्यतेऽनेन व्याधादिः’, and the Kā-
śikā which quotes अपामार्ग, besides वीमार्ग as an instance
to Pāṇ. VI. 3. 122.).

Vedic Reference
EnglishApā-mārga. — A plant (Achyranthes aspera) used frequently^1 in
witchcraft practices, and for medical purposes, especially against
Kṣetriya. It is described in the Atharvaveda^2 as ‘revertive’
(punaḥ-sara), either, as Roth^3 and Zimmer^4 think, because of
its having reverted leaves (a view also accepted by Whitney^5 ),
or because, as Bloomfield^6 holds, it wards off a spell by
causing it to recoil on its user.
