Also known as olibanum, this is a resin from trees of the genus Boswellia, in this case Boswellia serrata, “Indian frankincense.” It is also known as salai and śallakī, tilakalka, vṛścika, and turuṣka. The transliteration in YJ mostly corresponds to the Tibetan and Sanskrit, but the translated term 丁子 dingzi refers to Carophyllus aromaticus. See Ludvik 2007, p. 315.
