Dinesh ji,

It should be வாதவள்ளிக்கொடி.

As you might have noticed, the terms "valli" and "kodi" are synonymous, meaning "climber" or "twiner"!

Regards,

Thank you very much, Vijayasankar ji. Now that you told me about kodi, it strikes me !

In the description for this plant, the habit is described as tendriliate climber, thus a twining climber !

I could not find about vaatha, please help. May be the English name for this plant can be made from Tamil.

Regards.

Hello Vijayasankar ji,

Sorry to have asked about vaatha !! It is one of the three doshas: Vata. Pitta, and Kapha.

Regards.
