Dear friends,

Many thanks Ganesh ji for discussing this validation.
My mistake, apologies: I did not mention about the language in which these names need validation.
It is Marathi. I am referring to an entry found in A dictionary, Marathi and English by Molesworth, J. T. (James Thomas).
Marathi-knowing friends may validate my query.
Regards.
Dinesh
