Pāṃśuⲹ (हायन) is a Sanskrit word for a species of rice (ś) which is said to have an inferior quality, according to Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. The word is composed of ṃśu (‘crumbling soil� or ‘dust�) and (‘scattered�). The plant Pāṃśuⲹ is part of the Śūkadhānyavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the “group of awned grains�. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant.
