bower

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a sanctuary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'came into this world without name take us' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'bo' and 'bo' is found in the answer.
'take' could be 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take') and 'r' is present in the answer.
'us' could be 'we' and 'we' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bower that I've seen before include "Shady retreat" , "lady's private room?" , "sanctuary" , "Shady shelter" , "Shaded place under trees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
