The tree is also mentioned in the works of the 16th-century Bengali poet Chandidas and the 17th-century poet Kavikankan Mukundaram Chakravarti.

Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, also known as Night blooming jasmine, is a shrub or small tree native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is commonly referred to as the "tree of sorrow" due to its flowers losing their brightness during the day. Despite its common name, it is not a true jasmine and is not part of the Jasminum genus. The plant has a flaky grey bark and produces fragrant white flowers with an orange-red center. These flowers bloom at night and finish by dawn, giving it the name "night-flowering jasmine." The tree is also known by various other names such as Parijata, Shefali, Siuli, and Har-shringaar in different regions. It is used in traditional medicine for various purposes and is mentioned in Hindu literature, often associated with the legendary Kalpavriksha tree. The tree is also the subject of works in Telugu and Bengali literature.
