This tree is sacred to Kālī or Pārvatī, the consort of Śiva; it is the Arbor Generationis of the Maratha Kunbis, and a branch of it is brought into the house at the time of their marriage ceremonies. The tree is planted near villages and temples, and is held to be sacred. In Sanskrit it is called Kadamba or Kalamba, and has also many synonyms, such as Sisu-pāla, 'protecting children'; Hali-priya, 'dear to agriculturists,' &c. The Kadamba blossoms at the end of the hot seasons, and its night-scented flowers, form a large, globular, lemon-coloured head, from which the white clubbed stigmas project. They are compared by the Indian poets to the cheek of a maiden mantling with pleasure at the approach of her lover, and are supposed to have the power to irresistibly attracting lovers to one another. This idea is expressed in the following couplet of the Saptasatika of Hāla: -"Sweet-heart, how I am bewitched by the Kadamba blossoms, all the other flowers together have not such a power. Verily Kama wields now-a-days a bow armed with the honey balls of the Kadamba." The flowers are fabled to impregnate with honey the water, which collects in holes in the trunk of the tree. Beal, in his Catena of Buddhist scriptures from the Chinese, informs us that according to the Dirghagama Sutra, to the east of mount Sumeru rises a great king of trees called Kadamba; in girth seven yoganas, height a hundred yoganas, and in spread fifty yoganas. M. Senārt (Essai sur la l‚gende du Buddha) says: -"L'arbre de Bouddha sort spontan‚mnt d'un noyau de Kadamba d‚pos‚ dans le sol; en un moment, la terre se fend, une pousse paraŒt, et le g‚ant se dresse ombrageant une circonf‚rence de trois cents coud‚es. Les fruits qu'il porte troublent l'esprit des adversaires du Buddha contre lesquels les D‚vas d‚chaŒnent toutes les fureurs de la temp‚te." (De Gubernatis.) The fruit, which is about the size of a small orange, is eaten by the natives and is considered to be tonic and febrifuge, and its fresh juice is applied to the heads of infants when the fontanelle sinks; at the same time a small quantity mixed with cumin and sugar is given internally. In inflammation of the eyes the bark-juice with equal quantities of lime-juice, opium and alum is applied round the orbit.
