[Raghunandana, the author of Kṛityatattva (Jīvānanda's ed. of Smṛititattva vol. ii, 1895) quotes a verse from the Devīpurāṇa in connection with the worship of the goddess Manasā to get rid of the fear of snake-bite (cf. dr. Kane's history of Dharma-śāstra, vol. [V. p. 125] ). he explains स्नुही as सिजुवृक्षः. The botanic name of the tree is euphorbia Nerifolia (mar. निवडुंग). it is a plant from the stem of which a stickly substance oozes out.]
