Madugha, ‘honey-plant,’[१] is the name of a sweet herb in the Atharvaveda.[२] The spelling is somewhat uncertain, since many manuscripts read Madhugha.[३]
- ↑ The literal meaning is probably ‘yielding honey,’ the word being, according to the commentator, derived from madhu-dugha, a word actually occurring in the Rigveda (vi. 70, 1. 5).

vi. 102, 3. Cf. Weber, Indische Studien, 5, 386, n.;
