Śārṅgadhara Saṃhitā (primary_canonical)

Pūrva-khaṇḍa's category framework provides the prabhāva distinction used to separate a characteristic drug action from general rasa and vīrya descriptions.

Bhāvaprakāśa Nighaṇṭu (primary_canonical)

The Gudūcyādi-varga materia-medica entries describe brāhmī's medhya/intellect-supporting use; the head point is an editorial target-organ proxy, not a canonical anatomical locus.
