plakṣa	Is the name of the waved leaf fig-tree (Ficus infectoria), a large and beautiful tree with small white fruit. It is mentioned in the Atharvaveda and the Taittirīya Samhitā along with the Nyagrodha and the Parṇa. Its name is altered in the latter Saṃhitā to Prakṣa for the sake of an etymology. It is also mentioned in the Brāhmaṇas.

plakṣa dayyāṃpāti	('Descendant of Dyāmpati' or Dyāmpāta) was a contemporary' of Atyamhas Aruṇi in the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa.

plakṣa prāsravaṇa	Is the name of a locality, forty-four days’ journey from the spot where the Sarasvatī disappears. It is mentioned in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmaṇa and the Jaiminīya Upanisad Brāhmaṇa. In the latter text it is said that the middle of the earth is only a span (Prādeśa) to the north of it. In the Rigveda Sūtras3 the locality is called Plākṣa Prasravaṇa, and is apparently meant to designate the source of the Sarasvatī rather than the place of its reappearance.

triplakṣa	masc. plur., ‘The three fig-trees,’ is the name of the place where the Drsadvatī disappeared, near the Yamunā, according to the Pañcavimśa Brāhmana.
