Abstract

The manuscripts Pelliot chinois 2893 and Ch. 00265, discovered in Dunhuang and once part of a single Chinese scroll, contain an extensive medical text of āyurvedic tradition in Late Khotanese on the verso. Dating back to the 10th century CE, this work, conventionally known as Piṇḍaśāstra, contains various words and technical terms whose etymologies and meanings remain enigmatic. This article investigates two of these as yet unexplained terms, jbdrre and arūva, both pertaining to the botanical world and exclusive to the Piṇḍaśāstra.
