Guggnlu or Indian bdellium is obtained by making incisions 

 in the tree, through which the gum resin exudes. According to 

 Sanskrit writers, new or recently exuded guggnlu is moist, viscid, 

 fragrant and of a golden colour. It burns in the fire, melts in 

 the sun and forms a milky emulsion with hot water. Old 

 gttggulu is dry and without flavour or colour ; it should not be 

 used in medicine.
