ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਰਥ2
s. m, our, smell, (whether pleasant or otherwise); fragrance:—mushak aṇbar, s. m. Musk:—mushak bálá, wálá, s. m. A plant (Valeriana, Wallichii, Nat. Ord. Valcrianeæ.) which grows in the hills up to the Indus. Its roots are exported to the plains to be used medicinally:—mushak bed, bed mushk, s. m. A tree and its flower (Salix Caprea, Nat. Ord. Salicaceæ) cultivated at Lahore, Peshawar, and Amritsar, and several other places in the plains. Close to Lahore there are a good many acres of it, and there it is raised by cuttings, which are planted out in March. This tree, which is irrigated throughout the year, does not grow to a lage size, and is said only to flourish for 11 or 12 years. The large yellowish catkins of flowers appear in February, and are collected and sold to Attárs, who at once distil a scented water from them. This is mixed with water and drunk as a sharbat, which has a rather pleasant though somewhat medicinal taste. It is a great favourite, with well-to-do people, and is much belauded by native writers on medicine. It is considered cordial, stimulant, and aphrodisiac, and is applied externally for headache and ophthalmia. The ashes of the wood are said to be useful in hæmoptysis, and with vinegar are applied to hæmorrhoids. The stem and leaves are considered astringent, and the juice and gum also are said to be used medicinally:—mushak kapúr, kaphúr, s. m. Camphor:—fraṇj mushk, s. m. A shrub (Calaminth umbrosa, Nat. Ord. Labiatæ) common in the Punjab Himalaya; also see Rehán:—mushak paiṉá, paiṉí, v. n. To infect (as bukhár dí mushak paiṉí); to advance towards maturity (a cattle):—muskh turá mushí, s. f. See Púdṉá.
