ya, Gota or GOTI in our place is for pebbles. May be the seeds look like pebbles from seashore. and Latakaranj basically should mean, LIKE KARANJ BUT A CLIMBER. Thanks Dr. Arvind for the info. BTW GOTA also means 'to take a dive or jump in water', so sagargota means TAKE A DIVE IN SEA :P......just kidding.... Regards Pankaj
