Campaka (चमà¥à¤ªà¤�) is a Sanskrit word, identified with Michelia champaka (champak) by various scholars in their translation of the Åš³Ü°ì°ù²¹²ÔÄ«³Ù¾±. This tree is mentioned as bearing good fruits. The King should plant such domestic plants in and near villages. He should nourish them by stoole of goats, sheep and cows, water as well as meat.

The following is an ancient Indian recipe for such nourishment of trees:

According to Åš³Ü°ì°ù²¹²ÔÄ«³Ù¾± 4.4.105-109: “The trees (such as campaka) are to be watered in the morning and evening in summer, every alternate day in winter, in the fifth part of the day (i.e., afternoon) in spring, never in the rainy season. If trees have their fruits destroyed, the pouring of cold water after being cooked together with Kulutha, ²ÑÄåá¹£a (seeds), Mudga (pulse), Yava (barley) and Tila (oil seed) would lead to the growth of flowers and fruits. Growth of trees can be helped by the application of water with which fishes are washed and cleansed.â€�
