Brinjal was immediately shot down by Ranjit, who knows it's an eggplant. The 
same word "vatinganah", an Ayurvedic Sanskrit word meaning "a remedy for wind 
diseases" (vati = he blows), also became melongena (the species name), 
brown-jolly, mad-apple (translation of Italian melenzana, misheard as mala 
insana), aubergine, and several others.
