Commentary

The plant seems also attested as TB pepar. In Ayurvedic medicine, the term nalada or naladā refers to the musk-root plant [Nardostachys Jatamansi] (thus the interpretation of Maue 1990: 164. fn. 47) or to a variety of vetiver grass [Vetiveria zizanioides = Andropogon muricatus Retz.] (thus the interpretation of Filliozat 1948: 125 s.v. nalat).
