Ādzٲ (आस्फोत) refers to the medicinal plant known as “Clitoria ternatea Linn.� and is dealt with in the 15th-century Yogasrasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasrasaṃgraha [mentioning dzٲ] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (󲹾ṣaⲹ-첹貹) which is a branch of pharmacology (ⲹṇa).

1) Ādz (आस्फोत�) is a Sanskrit word referring to Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea), a species of plant in the Fabaceae (leguma/bean) family. It is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the 䲹첹-ṃh. It is also known by the names 貹ᾱ and Ҿ첹ṇi in Sanskrit. Other commonly used names in English include the “blue pea� and “Asian pigeonwings�. It has two variations, one with white and one with blue flowers. The word Ādz is probably derived from Āṭa (-ṭa “moving, flapping, quivering, trembling�).

2) Ādzٲ (आस्फोत) is another name (synonym) for Karbudra, which is the Sanskrit word for Bauhinia variegata (orchid tree), a plant from the Cleomaceae family. This synonym was identified by Narahari in his 13th-century ᲹԾṇṭ (verse 13.99), which is an Ayurvedic medicinal thesaurus.
