Vedic Reference
EnglishAukṣa-gandhi (‘having the smell of bull's grease’) appears
in the Atharvaveda^1 as the name of an Apsaras, beside other
names, of which Guggulū and Naladī clearly indicate plants.
This name, therefore, presumably also denotes some sort of
fragrant plant. Aukṣa in the same Saṃhitā^2 means ‘bull's
grease’ (from akṣan, ‘bull’).
1) iv. 37. 3.
2) ii. 36. 7.
