Due to this belief the people in Chhattisgarh keep Gloriosa at bay. Unfortunately nothing has been associated with poisonous (exotic) Jatropha and as result due to Jatropha poisoning thousands of children are reaching to hospital. It has taken lives of five children in India.

Nice information by Antaryami ji, which I was waiting to hear.
I have even heard that Rati or Gunj is also known as Gold-smith Gunj,
because of the same property that Antaryami ji mentioned [seeds were
taken in use by Gold smiths in the past to weigh the Gold] Hence,
searched for literature on this and found very few
1. http://www.sizes.com/units/seeds_Abrus.htm ,
2. http://uel-iis-dev.uel.ac.uk/lss/ebooks/documents/cd3/TaverniersTravelsinIndia-Vol-I.pdf
But the weight given in both references are differs drastically from
each other.
Also, As Shubhda ji said, leaves are used in Paan and known as Hari
patti, which tastes sweet in first bite.
Whereas Root is adulterated with Glycerhiza glabra or commonly known
as Liquorice or Jeshthimadh / Jeshthimadhu or Yashtimadhu. It is
also known as Indian Wild Liquorice.
According to Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India seeds are also use in
baldness.
Other actions or uses are: uterine stimulant, abortifacient besides
being toxic.
Seeds contain abrin, a toxalbumin, indole derivatives, anthocyanins,
sterols, terpens, whereas root and leaves contains precol, abrol,
glycyrrhizin and alkaloids such as abrasine and precasine. Root also
contains triterpenoids abruslactone A, methyl abrusgenate and
abrusgenic acid. (Khare ed. Indian Medicinal plants 2007). Presence
of different chemical compounds may be a reason of poisonous seeds and
edible root and leaves.

I thought that the seeds of Adenanthera pavonina were used by jewelers, which is known as ratti.

though the word ratti is not used but the account is given in The Trees of Calcutta by A.P.Benthall-
The seeds are much used by jeweller and goldsmiths as measure of weight, because they are said very constantly in weigh precisely 4 grains each. They are also worn as ornaments and are often set in gold.
