Thank you verymuch Dineshji for sharing the fotos. I had never seen बिब्बा bibba भल्लातक bhallataka, भिल्लावा bhillava, and the other two names for बिब्बा I did not know before. भल्लातक reminded me of भल्लातक फळभारे लवले from गीतरामायण. बिब्बा looks like काजू? seed on top of a fruit? That is what I saw in your foto. Do you have a bigger foto of the fruit? What is actually बिब्बा? Is it a seed? Thanks for the link. Regards Nalini
