Definition in this text:

Also called devadāru (“divine wood”), Cedrus deodara, the Himalayan cedar. While the Chinese transliteration‍—苫弭哆shanmiche‍—corresponds to the Sanskrit śāmyaka, the Chinese translation‍—甘松 gansong‍—refers to yet another substance, namely spikenard. See the entry for “spikenard” and Ludvik 2007, p. 310.
