Vedic Reference
EnglishUrvārū, f., Urvāruka, n., ‘cucumber.’ The former^1 of these
words denotes the plant, the latter^2 the fruit, but both are very
rare. The passages all seem to refer to the fact that the stem
of the plant becomes loosened when the fruit is ripe.^3 The
fruit is also called Urvāru in a Brāhmaṇa.^4
