This should be Spermacoce latifolia Aubl. (which is different from Spermacoce alata Aubl.) as per discussions at Spermacoce latifolia at Pachmarhi :: 18 SEP 13 :: DV 
Thanks, Tabish ji, for pointing it out.

Thanks very much, Sam ji, for the appreciation, and for validating the Malayalam names / English spelling.
I will do the correction shortly in the above section as you have pointed out; in the lower section of "Bibliography / etymology", I have put it as tharuthaaval.

Regards.
Dinesh
