| Related drugs | Vigna adenantha (= Phaseolus adenanthus G.F. Meyer) | ||||
| Comments | There is confusion in the botanical identification of Mudgaparni. Various commentators have given Vigna pilosa Baker, Phaseolus adenanthus G.F.W.Mey., and P. trilobus auct. non L. as Latin names for Mudgaparni. In North India P. trilobus is used for Mudgaparni whereas in South India, Vigna pilosa or Phaseolus adenanthus G.F.W.Mey. are used though P. trilobus is available. From Shivadatta's commentary in Shivadattanighantu, quoted in Bhavaprakasa nighantu, it is said that mudgaparni should have yellow flowers (pitapuspaka). Hence it is inferred that P. trilobus having yellow flowers should be regarded as Mudgaparni. Mudgaparni is included in Jivaniya, Sukrajanana and Madhuraskandha gana by Caraka. Susruta includes it in Kakolyadi, Vidarigandhadi gana. Its synonym supyaparni indicates that its is used to make soups. Marjaragandhika denotes that it has the smell of cat. | ||||
