Its storehouse of knowledge is an unsurpassed and the most invaluable treasure of the world. This language is a true symbol of the great Indian tradition and thought, which has exhibited full freedom in the search of truth, has shown catholicity towards universal truth. This unique language contains not only good account of wisdom for the people of this country, but it is also an unparallel and right way to acquire proper knowledge and is thus significant for the people of entire world. In India, Sanskrit is known as devabhÁÒÁ, i.e. language of the gods. Besides, it is also recognized as the mother of Indian languages. However, it is not merely a classical language, but also a repository of a great part of our old cultural heritage. It is obvious to say that Sanskrit literature contains all shorts of vidyÁs, i.e. Sciences or knowledge. The Vedas are the soul of Indian culture and tradition. It is the storehouse of all type of jñÁnas i.e. wisdoms, which are very useful to maintain a healthy and tension free life in the society. It is also widely known as the source or root of Metallurgy, Medicine, Meteorology, etc. These subjects are also separately discussed in various texts and commentaries of the vast literature of Sanskrit. The mystery of traditional as well as modern vidyÁs or Sciences was exhaustively known to our ancient seers, poets, writers and commentators.

In the Vedic literature, the trees or VªkÒas were always regarded to be the object of great reverence. The earliest mention of the trees is found in the ègveda, the oldest repository of human knowledge. A long hymn (X.97) of the ègveda is devoted to worshipping the trees and plants with special reference to their healing properties. In the Atharvaveda or Brahma Veda trees and plants are also mentioned with special reference to their healing properties and their capacity of warding of the demons (rākÒasas). In the ègveda, the cult of trees is well recognized. Therefore, the trees were implored to bestow for good offspring, various worldly amenities and also for long life without any disease. The word VªkÒa is the general term for tree in the Sa¿hitās and post Vedic literature. There are twelve synonyms of VªkÒa (VéÐchyate chedyate iti VªkÒa—that which is cut) found in the AmarakoÐa (IV.25) such as: Mahīruha (that which grows on the earth), Ïākhī (that which has branches), Pādapa (that which drinks sap with roots), Taru(taranti anena ātapam—that by which people overcome heat), Anokaha (anasa½ ÐakaÔasyākaï gatiï hanti—that which obstructs the pace of a cart), KuÔa, Ïāla, PalāÐa (that which have leaves), Dru, Druma (– that which has a part of the tree), and Agama(na gacchati iti agama— that which does not move). From the following ègvedic mantra 1 : ‚taÒÔeva vªkÒa¿ vanino ni vªÐcāsi paraÐveva ni vªÐcāsi " , the etymology of VªkÒa can be assumed. So, the term vªkÒa could be derived from the root vraÐc-meaning 'to crash down or cut down' (vªkÒo vraÐcanāt 2). The names of different VªkÒas are found in the
