Biblical reference
Maja or Bael can also mean maya or baal, was wondering if there was a source for the garden of eden on this one. Snake, Baal etc. is the forbidden fruit a pomegranut? Something around there. If a source can be linked would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.25.193 (talk) 19:49, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Pharmacology?
It seems from evidences elsewhere on the internet that there is an interesting composition of (pharmacologically active?) molecules contained within this plant. It is briefly touched on in the Ayurvedic section but it deserves further elaboration by someone more familiar with the plant and particularly its effects.

I found the following information indicating some seemingly (I don't really know) exotic cinnamides and if someone knows more about pharmacological effect and can cite some other sources it would be beneficial for information purposes if this article included such details. It seems that the following list of compounds should likely have some kind of pharmacological properties maybe antidepressant, euphoriant, nootropic or otherwise.

"From dry leaves of Aegle marmelos, four new alkaloids, N-2-[4-(3′, 3′-dimethylallyloxy)phenyl]ethyl cinnamide, N-2-hydroxy-2-[4-(3′,3′-dimethylallyloxy)phenyl]ethyl cinnamide, N-4-methoxystyryl cinnamide and N-2-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl cinnamide were isolated and characterized. Also isolated were aegeline and a purple compound whose structure has not yet been established."

http://www.sciencedirect.com/ (really long full address omitted) this site quotes Phytochemistry Volume 22, Issue 3, 1983, Pages 755-757 I don't know how to integrate this information properly into the article so I suppose it just sits as a potential suggestion for improvement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.176.247 (talk) 20:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Regardless of whether modern, evidence-based science has proved or disproved any such claims, said claims are still part of this plant's story and should not be excluded out of hand.

Bili?
In one of the captions, the term Bili tree is used. Is this correct?Willow warbler (talk) 10:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * There are certainly a decent number of Google hits that appear to be discussing this plant as "bili tree", "bilipatra" or "bilipatra" (although not much that I'd consider a Reliable Source). These terms sure look like they're etymologically related to "bilva"/"bilvapatra" already listed in the lead. Is the difference between bili & bilva one of dialect, language, or alternate transliteration into English? I don't know for sure. Plantdrew (talk) 21:21, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your helpful comment. I'll see if I can find a reliable source. Willow warbler (talk) 10:37, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
