چکیده
Ascertaining the botanical identities of many of the plants described in Sanskrit literature is a difficult task.

Thus the Garuda Purana was studied and the botanical identities of the numerous plants listed in chapter 202 of the Purvabhaga were ascertained.

متن کاملWhy the Ablative, Locative, and Instrumental Cases Fell Together in Latin
