The peepul tree; esp., the very ancient tree standing at Anurajahpoora in Ceylon, grown from a slip of the tree under which Gautama is said to have received the heavenly light and so to have become Buddha. [1913 Webster] The sacred bo tree of the Buddhists ({Ficus religiosa}), which is planted close to every temple, and attracts almost as much veneration as the status of the god himself. . . .
